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

The exopolysaccharide (EPS) of some Lactobacillus strains has been reported to exert anti-cancer activities. In this study, the effects of crude EPSs produced by four Lactobacillus plantarum strains (Lactobacillus plantarum-12, L. plantarum-14, L. plantarum-32, and L. plantarum-37) on HT-29 cell proliferation and apoptosis were studied. The results showed that the inhibition rate of the crude EPS produced by L. plantarum-12 on HT-29 cell proliferation was significantly higher than that of the EPS produced by the other three strains. L. plantarum-12 crude EPS (50, 100, 250, 500 μg/ml) exerted inhibitory effects on the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in HT-29 cells in a positive dose-dependent manner. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and apoptosis rate were also increased in HT-29 cells treated with different concentrations of L. plantarum-12 crude EPS compared with control cells. Further studies found that the expression of the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax, Cyt C, caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 was upregulated and that the expression of the anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2 was decreased in HT-29 cells treated with L. plantarum-12 crude EPS compared with control cells. The results suggested that the EPS produced by L. plantarum-12 could inhibit the proliferation of the human colon cancer cell line HT-29 through the mitochondrial pathway.
