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

backgroundsBanxia Xiexin decoction (BXD) is widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal dysfunction, chronic hepatitis, oral ulcer and other diseases, but there are few reports on its treatment of colon cancer. The current study was designed to investigate the effect of BXD on colon cancer and its possible molecular mechanisms.

methodsFifty SPF BALB/c nude mice were selected to establish an animal model of colon cancer bearing nude mice. Establishment of nude mice intestinal cancer model by subcutaneous injection of intestinal cancer cells. Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by commercial kits. Pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum were detected. Western blotting was used to demonstrate the expression levels of related apoptosis proteins, inflammation and oxidative stress proteins.

resultsOur results showed that BXD could decrease SOD and increased MDA in nude mice bearing tumors. BXD increased pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum in nude mice bearing tumors. Western blotting revealed that the protein expressions of Bax, Caspase-3, Caspase-9 were increased by different concentrations of BXD, while Bcl-2 was decreased. BXD also decreased Nrf-2 and HO-1, and increased the levels of MAPK/NF-κB pathway in tumor tissue.

conclusionsBXD has an obvious tumor inhibiting effect on SW 480 colon cancer transplanted tumor in nude mice via apoptotic pathway and MAPK/NF-κB pathway.
