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

This study aims to investigate the interactions between osthole extracted from Egyptian citrus fruits as HDACs inhibitor by theoretical study and practically. Besides, osthole was assed as anti-cancer activity. In this study, osthole was extracted from the Egyptian citrus fruit and was characterized. The role of osthole as in vitro inhibitor of HDACs was estimated and evaluated the antitumor activity against human lung cancer cells (A549), Caspase-9 activity was detected. The results obtained from GC-MS indicate that the grapefruit showed the highest osthole concentration compared to the other citrus fruits. Moreover, the grapefruit osthole competitively inhibits HDACs. The inhibition constant value, (Ki=3.36 mM), indicates that osthole exerts an inhibitory effect upon HDACs activity. In vitro study of osthole could inhibit the growth of A549 cells that depend on time and concentration. It also induces apoptosis and causes an increase of caspase-9 by osthole. In conclusion, grapefruit osthole could induce the apoptosis in A549 lung cancer cells by inhibiting the histone deacetylase.
