Lithium chloride inhibits cell survival, overcomes drug resistance, and triggers apoptosis in multiple myeloma via activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an extremely malignant plasma cell disease, which is still incurable due to its drug resistance. Lithium chloride (LiCl) functions in many pathological processes, including bipolar disorder, acute brain injuries, and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, but its antagonistic role in MM progression has not been reported thus far. In this study, we found that LiCl inhibited MM cell proliferation and induced MM cell cycle G2/M phase arrest in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, LiCl overcomes bortezomib (BTZ)-mediated resistance in MM cells and induces apoptosis in BTZ-resistant cells. Our data preliminarily indicate that LiCl induces MM cell apoptosis via activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Overall, our results define LiCl as an inducer of MM cell apoptosis and unveil a crosstalk between BTZ and LiCl in facilitating cell apoptosis.
