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

Objective: To explore the possibility of a novel chemopreventive strategy for improving breast cancer treatment, the anticancer effects of a combination two natural compounds, Chrysin and Metformin, against T47D breast cancer cells were investigated. Materials and Methods: After treatment of T47D cells with Metformin, Chrysin and the two drugs in combination, toxicity to cancer cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Real time PCR was then used to determine the expression levels of hTERT and cyclin D1 genes. Results: The MTT test findings showed that the combination of metformin and chrysin had high synergistic effects in killing cancer cells. In addition PCR demonstrated a significant decrease in cyclin D1 and hTERT gene expression in the T47D breast cancer cell line. Conclusion: The conmbination of metformin and chrysin suppressing hTERT and cyclin D1 gene expression might offer an appropriate approach for breast cancer therapy.
