Salvianolic acid B suppresses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in osteosarcoma through p38-mediated reactive oxygen species generation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the potential anticancer effect and mechanisms of salvianolic acid B on osteosarcoma. Salvianolic acid B suppressed osteosarcoma cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in the osteosarcoma MG63 cell line, and activated the expressions of cleaved caspase-3, phosphorylated-tumor protein (p)38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38 MAPK) and phosphorylated-p53 (p-p53) proteins in the MG63 cells. Additionally, Salvianolic acid B also increased the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the MG63 cells. The silencing of p38 expression inhibited the anticancer effect of salvianolic acid B on the levels of cell proliferation, p-p53 protein expression and ROS generation level in the MG63 cells. All these data supported the hypothesis that the anticancer effect of salvianolic acid B includes the suppression of cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in MG63 cells, and that p38 is important in the anticancer effect of salvianolic acid B on osteosarcoma cells due to the direct regulation of ROS generation. These data suggest that salvianolic acid B is important in the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells due to the direct regulation of p38-mediated ROS signaling.
