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

In this study, the potential of date seed extracts to induce growth inhibition and apoptosis in HepG2 and HeLa cells was investigated. Analysis of the phytochemical compound content of the two Tunisian minor date seed extracts named Arechti and Korkobbi was determined. Moreover, their antioxidant properties are assessed through different assays including DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, TBARS, and phosphomolybdenum methods. Whereas, the cytotoxic effect was evaluated and apoptosis induction was confirmed by western blot technique (caspase-9, caspase-3, and PARP-1). The results proved the richness in phytochemical compounds of these by-products which explains the high in vitro antioxidant activity and the antiproliferative effects of both seed extracts. Additionally, the decrease in total PARP-1, procaspase-3 levels, and the increase of cleaved caspase-9 revealed the apoptotic effect of date seed extracts. These results collectively illustrate the potential of date seed extracts to induce growth inhibition and apoptosis in HepG2 and HeLa cells thanks to its phytochemical richness.
