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

Natural medicinal plants are multi-targeted in nature and their anti-cancer activities are also complex and varied, thus requiring a more systematic analysis of their modes of action. Since the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is often deregulated in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells and tissue specimens, its negative regulation can form the basis for identification of targeted therapy. In this report, we analyzed the possible anti-cancer effects of ophiopogonin D (OP-D) and the underlying mechanisms by which OP-D exerts its actions in NSCLC. OP-D exhibited substantial suppressive activity on STAT3 signaling and this effect was found to be mediated via oxidative stress phenomena caused by disturbance in GSH/GSSG ratio. In addition, OP-D induced apoptosis, activated caspase mediated apoptotic cascade and decreased expression of various oncogenic genes. Consistently, OP-D treatment significantly reduced NSCLC tumor growth in preclinical mouse model with via decreasing levels of p-STAT3. OP-D was also found to attenuate the expression of STAT3-regulated anti-apoptosis, cell cycle regulator, and angiogenesis biomarkers. Our findings suggest that OP-D can induce apoptosis and exert anti-tumor effects by inhibition of STAT3 signaling pathways in NSCLC.
