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

aimThe aim of the present study was to confirm therapeutic efficacy and find probable mechanism of action of amentoflavone in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vivo. MATERIALS AND

methodsLuciferase reporter vector pGL4.50_transfected SK-Hep1 (SK-Hep1/luc2) tumor-bearing mice were treated with vehicle or amentoflavone (100 mg/kg/day by gavage) for 14 days. Tumor growth, amentoflavone toxicity, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-ĸB) signaling in tumor progression were evaluated with digital caliper, bioluminescence imaging, computed tomography, body weight, pathological examination of liver, and immunohistochemistry staining.

resultsAmentoflavone significantly inhibited tumor growth, ERK/NF-ĸB activation, and expression of tumor progression-associated proteins as compared to vehicle-treated group. In addition, body weight and liver morphology of mice were not influenced by amentoflavone treatment.

conclusionThese results suggest that amentoflavone inhibits HCC progression through suppression of ERK/NF-ĸB signaling.
