1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is well-known as a promising therapeutic target in various cancer cells. mTOR activation decreases the sensitivity of ovarian cancer to cisplatin. Cardamonin inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cells by mTOR suppression. The present study examined whether cardamonin combined with cisplatin is efficacious for the anti-proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. The anti-proliferative effect was determined by MTT and cell cycle assays. Activation of the mTOR signal pathway and the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins were evaluated by western blot analysis. Cardamonin significantly enhanced the effects of cisplatin on cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. The expression of B cell lymphoma-2, X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein and Survivin was significantly decreased following combination treatment. Furthermore, the activation of mTOR and its downstream 70 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase was inhibited by cardamonin. These results demonstrated that the combinatorial effects of cardamonin and cisplatin on anti-proliferation were enhanced by suppressing the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins and activation of mTOR in ovarian cancer cells.
