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

Introduction: Linum album is a medicinal plant endemic in Iran that is very important pharmaceutically. The present study concerns the effect of different extracts of L. album on ZNF703 gene expression and apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma AGS cells. Method and material: Hydro alchoholic L. album extracts from various plant sources were produced by Maceration. AGS cells were treated with different concentrations (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 μg/ml) and the cytotoxicity potency was assessed after 24 h by MTT assay. Then, quantitative real time PCR was conducted for ZNF703 gene expression in AGS cells. Also, cell apoptosis/necrosis was assessed with the aid of Annexin V/PI staining and quantification by flow cytometry. Results: L. album extracts exerted dose-dependent toxicity in the AGS cell line. The mRNA levels of ZNF703 gene expression were significantly decreased with rhizome, fruit at fruiting, leaf and stem at anthesis (P<0.001), and leaf and stem at fruiting extracts as compared to the controls (P<0.01). Also, the number of apoptotic cells was increased from 2.70% (statistically significant; p<0.05) in untreated AGS cells to 44%, following treatment with the leaf and stem at anthesis example. Discussion: Our findings revealed that the L. album extracts can induce apoptosis and might modulate cytotoxicity by down regulating ZNF703 gene expression in AGS cells. Therefore, this extract could be a good candidate for inhibiting cancer cell growth, especially that of gastric cancer. In addition, ZNF703 may have potential as a therapeutic target.
