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

Wogonin, an active component derived from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown anti-tumor activities in several malignancies. However, the roles of wogonin in RCC cells remain elusive. Here, we explored the effects of wogonin on RCC cells and the underlying mechanisms. We found that wogonin showed significant cytotoxic effects against RCC cell lines 786-O and OS-RC-2, with much lower cytotoxic effects on human normal embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293 cells. Wogonin treatment dramatically inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of RCC cells. We further showed that by inhibiting CDK4-RB pathway, wogonin transcriptionally down-regulated CDC6, disturbed DNA replication, induced DNA damage and apoptosis in RCC cells. Moreover, we found that the levels of p-RB, CDK4, and Cyclin D1 were up-regulated in sunitinib resistant 786-O, OS-RC-2, and TK-10 cells, and inhibition of CDK4 by palbociclib or wogonin effectively reversed the sunitinib resistance, indicating that the hyperactivation of CDK4-RB pathway may at least partially contribute to the resistance of RCC to sunitinib. Together, our findings demonstrate that wogonin could induce apoptosis and reverse sunitinib resistance of RCC cells
