Effects of glabridin combined with 5-fluorouracil on the proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Gastric cancer most commonly occurs in East Asia, and China accounts for more than half the of world's gastric cancer burden. Despite the efficacy of chemotherapy for patients, this treatment leads to significant patient inconvenience, toxicity and cost. The present study aimed to assess a non-toxic agent, glabridin, as a future chemotherapeutic approach for treating gastric cancer. Using cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and colony formation assays, it was determined that glabridin alone, or in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), inhibited MKN-45 cell proliferation and invasion, and increased apoptosis. These effects were accompanied by downregulation of p16, E-cadherin and apoptosis regulator Bcl-2 protein, and upregulation of N-cadherin, apoptosis regulator BAX and caspases 3, 8 and 9. The results demonstrated that glabridin may inhibit the malignant proliferation of the human gastric cancer MKN-45 cell line and enhance the efficiency of 5-FU. The data indicate that the p16, and potentially the p16/cyclin-dependent kinase 4/cyclin D1 pathway, may be a novel target for gastric cancer therapy.
