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

backgroundTubeimoside-1 (TBMS1), a triterpenoid saponin extracted from traditional Chinese medicine tubeimoside, exerts a cytotoxic effect on several human cancer cell lines. However, no study has focused on whether TBMS1 works on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe treated OSCC cells with TBMS1 to detect the effect and relevant molecular basis of TBMS1 for the first time. We chose two oral cancer cell lines, CAL27 and SCC15, for this study. First, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylte-trazolium bromide assay and cell proliferation 5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine assay were carried out to detect cell growth. Second, colony formation assay was performed to assess clonogenesis capacity. Next apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Subsequently, wound healing and transwell assays were applied to explore cell migration. Finally, Western blot was further performed to examine corresponding proteins' expression change.

resultsOur data showed that TBMS1 significantly suppressed proliferation of OSCC cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner and it inhibited migration of OSCC cells as well. After treatment with TBMS1, OSCC cells underwent cell apoptosis. Furthermore, Western blot demonstrated that TBMS1 downregulated apoptosis-associated proteins such as PARP, p-ERK1/2, Bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-7 and caspase-8 and upregulated cleaved PARP, cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9. It could also reduce expression of c-Myc and MMP-7. Meanwhile, TBMS1 did not change the total ERK1/2 expression.

conclusionThese results revealed that TBMS1 might be a potential chemotherapeutic drug for the management of OSCC.
