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

Recent studies have revealed a positive therapeutic effect of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on tumor cells. However, the underlying mechanism of this has not yet been elucidated. The present study examined the potential therapeutic role and mechanism of DHA in T-cell lymphoma cells. It was revealed that DHA inhibited the proliferation of Jurkat and HuT-78 T-cell lymphoma cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, DHA reduced c-Myc protein expression at the transcriptional level, and induced the phosphorylation of c-Myc and the degradation of c-Myc oncoprotein levels. DHA treatment resulted in decreased phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt) and glycogen synthase 3β (GSK3β) in T-cell lymphoma cells. In addition, DHA treatment induced cell apoptosis, which was accompanied by an increased ratio of Bax/Bcl-2. Taken together, the results of the present study suggested that DHA may exert its antitumor role by accelerating c-Myc proteolysis and inhibiting the Akt/GSK3β pathway in T-cell lymphoma cells.
