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

Ovarian cancer is a common human malignancy of the female reproductive system. However, chemotherapy has been proven to have limited effectiveness in a majority of patients. Resibufogenin (RB) is a major active ingredient in cinobufacini, which has been used in the treatment of human malignancies as adjunct agents. This study was designed to examine the anti-cancer effect of RB and the underlying mechanisms in ovarian cancer. Our results showed that RB treatment resulted in cell death, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. The anti-growth and pro-apoptotic effects of RB were also validated in xenograft mice models. Proteomics analysis indicated that RB was able to alter the expressions of several genes, which were involved in the regulation of glycolysis. The suppression effect of RB in the glycolysis pathway of ovarian cancer cells was validated by decreased glucose consumption, lactate production, and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR). We proposed that PIM1 functioned as the key target that mediated the anti-cancer effect of RB against ovarian cancer cells. Our results have revealed that RB downregulated PIM1 in ovarian cancer cells and its downstream genes involved in glycolysis. Moreover, our results indicated that the anti-growth activities and suppressing effect of RB on glycolysis were enhanced significantly by PIM1 knockdown but was attenuated by ectopic PIM1 expression. This provided evidence to support the role of PIM1 in the anti-cancer activities of RB.
