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

Resveratrol, a trans-stilbene polyphenolic compound and its synthetic analogs are widely used bioactive molecules due to their remarkable chemo-preventive potential. Here, we have identified a novel synthetic trans-stilbene compound, Z-DAN-11 ((Z)-3-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl) acrylonitrile) which shows remarkable efficacy in blocking tumor growth and progression both in vitro and in vivo. Z-DAN-11 inhibits proliferation of cancer cells in vitro through microtubule depolymerization that induced G2/M arrest and consequently leads to apoptotic cell death. More importantly, Z-DAN-11 shows limited cytotoxicity to normal cells as compared to cancer cells. Quite interestingly, we have found that Z-DAN-11-mediated ROS production helps in dramatic alteration in the mitochondrial redox status which critically contributes to the apoptosis. Mechanistic studies reveal that Z-DAN-11 induces the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins and decreases anti-apoptotic protein expression that decisively helps in the activation of caspase 8, caspase 9, and caspase 3, leading to cleavage of PARP1 and cell death via intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis. Moreover, Z-DAN-11-mediated apoptosis of cancer cells is through a partial p53-dependent pathway, since both HCT116 p53
