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

Resveratrol, a natural product and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist, has been reported to exert anti-cancer effects in several tumor models. A previous study by our group reported that prostaglandin J2, a PPARγ ligand, inhibited cell proliferation in a uterine sarcoma cell line. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the Wnt signaling pathway in resveratrol-induced apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation in the MES-SA human uterine sarcoma cell line. A WST-1 assay demonstrated that resveratrol inhibited cell proliferation in the MES-SA cell line, and flow cytometry revealed that the number of apoptotic cells increased in a resveratrol dose-dependent manner. The mechanisms underlying these effects of resveratrol were speculated to involve the expression of β-catenin and its target gene, c-myc, which were examined using western blot analysis. The results revealed a dose-dependent downregulation of this β-catenin and c-myc. This effect was blunted by a pharmacological inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase 3β. Therefore, it is likely that resveratrol inhibited the cell proliferation and increased the number of apoptotic cells, at least partially, via the Wnt signaling pathway. The present results suggest that resveratrol is a potential candidate for the treatment of uterine sarcoma.
