Effects and Mechanism of Tanshinone II A in Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Migration of Human Colon Cancer Cells.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore the effect and mechanism of tanshinone II A on proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of human colon cancer cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS CCK-8 approach was carried out to evaluate proliferation after applying various levels of tanshinone II A to SW620 colon carcinoma cells. Flow cytometry (FC) was used to assess apoptosis. Transwell assay was performed to assess invasion in vitro, and the wound-healing assay was applied to assess migration. Western blot analysis was performed to evaluate translation of mTOR, while RT-PCR was carried out to assess transcription of VEGF. RESULTS CCK-8 assay showed that tanshinone II A inhibited SW620 proliferation in comparison to the control group subsequent to 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h (P<0.001). FC revealed that tanshinone II A promoted SW620 apoptosis (P<0.001). The cell migration test revealed that the migration index of cells receiving tanshinone II A decreased. mTOR translation as well as VEGE transcription in cells receiving tanshinone II A was noticeably prohibited compared to control group (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Tanshinone II A is able to inhibit proliferation and migration of human colon cancer SW620 cells and promoted cell death. Its mechanism may be by downregulation of mTOR protein and VEGF mRNA.
