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

Methyl jasmonate potentially induces the differentiation of human myeloid leukemia cells and inhibits their proliferation; it may induce the differentiation and apoptosis of human lymphocytic leukemia cells, but does not exert a damaging effect on normal lymphocytes. In the present study, the anticancer effect of methyl jasmonate on human colorectal cancer cells was investigated. Cell viability and apoptosis was assessed using a Cell Counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Methyl jasmonate suppressed cell viability and induced apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells. Additionally, methyl jasmonate increased the activation of caspase-3, inhibited the expression levels of enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit (EZH2) and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in human colorectal cancer. Downregulation of EZH2 expression enhanced the anticancer effect of methyl jasmonate on human colorectal cancer cells through suppression of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Thus, EZH2 downregulation promotes the anticancer effect of methyl jasmonate by inducing apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
