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

Naringenin (NG) is a natural antioxidant flavonoid which is isolated from citrus fruits, and has been reported to inhibit colon cancer proliferation. However, the effects of NG treatment on glioma remain to be elucidated. The present study aimed to explore the effects of NG on glioma in vitro and in vivo. Also, the interactions between NG and APO2 ligand (APO2L; also known as tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) were investigated in glioma. A synergistic effect of NG and APO2L combination on apoptotic induction was observed, though glioma cells were insensitive to APO2L alone. After NG treatment, glioma cells resumed the sensitivity to APO2L and cell apoptosis was induced via the activation of caspases, elevation of decoy receptors 4 and 5 (DR4 and DR5) and induction of p53. Coadministration of NG and APO2L decreased levels of anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family members Bcl-2 and Bcl-extra large (Bcl-xL), while increased levels of proapoptotic factors Bcl-2-associated agonist of cell death (Bad) and Bcl-2 antagonist/killer 1 (Bak). Furthermore, an in vivo mouse xenograft model demonstrated that NG and APO2L cotreatment markedly suppressed glioma growth by activating apoptosis in tumor tissues when compared with NG or APO2L monotherapy. The present study provides a novel therapeutic strategy for glioma by potentiating APO2L-induced apoptosis via the combination with NG in glioma tumor cells.
