Tanshinone IIA inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via p53-cyclin B1/CDC2.
Article in Oncology letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Tanshinone IIA exhibits natural antioxidative and antineoplastic activity. However, to the best of our knowledge, the effects of tanshinone IIA on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate whether tanshinone IIA inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via p53-cyclin B1/cell division cycle gene 2 (CDC2). Cell proliferation, cytotoxicity and apoptosis of 13-9B cells were evaluated by an MTT assay, lactate dehydrogenase assay and flow cytometry, respectively. ELISA and western blot analysis were used to analyze caspase-3 activity and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), p53, cyclin B1 and CDC2 protein expression in 13-9B cells. Treatment of 13-9B cells with tanshinone IIA significantly suppressed cell proliferation and significantly induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis of 13-9B cells. Furthermore, tanshinone IIA significantly increased caspase-3 activity, and significantly increased the protein expression levels of PARP, p53, cyclin B1 and CDC2 in 13-9B cells. In summary, the current results indicate that tanshinone IIA inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via PARP, p53, cyclin B1/CDC2 and caspase-3-mediated signaling.
