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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the anticancer effect of resibufogenin in gastric carcinoma cells through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) signaling pathway. MGC-803 cells were treated with 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 µM resibufogenin for 12, 24 and 48 h. Cell viability and apoptosis were measured using an MTT assay and annexin V staining. Caspase-3 and caspase-8 activity were identified using caspase-3 and caspase-8 activity kits and a variety of protein expression [B cell lymphoma (Bcl)-2, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), cyclin D1, cyclin E, PI3K, phosphorylated AKT, phosphorylated GSK3β and β-catenin] were quantified using western blot analysis. It was revealed that resibufogenin effectively inhibited cell proliferation, and induced apoptosis and caspase-3 and caspase-8 activity in MGC-803 cells. Furthermore, treatment with resibufogenin effectively increased Bax/Bcl-2 expression, and suppressed cyclin D1, cyclin E, PI3K, phosphorylated AKT, phosphorylated GSK3β and β-catenin protein expression in MGC-803 cells. These results suggest that the anticancer effect of resibufogenin induces gastric carcinoma cell death through the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway, offering a novel view of the mechanism by which resibufogenin functions as an agent to treat gastric carcinoma.
