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

Tumor microenvironment is a critical participant in the initiation, progression and drug resistance of carcinomas, including osteosarcoma. Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) is a proverbial active ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicine Panax notoginseng (PN) and possess undeniable roles in several cancers. Nevertheless, its function in osteosarcoma and tumor microenvironment remains elusive. In the current study, exposure to NGR1 dose-dependently inhibited osteosarcoma cell viability and migration, and induced apoptosis. Furthermore, osteosarcoma cells that were incubated with conditioned medium (CM) from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exhibited greater proliferation, migration capacity and MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression relative to control cells, which was reversed when BMSCs were treated with NGR1. Notably, administration with NGR1 antagonized CM-evoked doxorubicin resistance in osteosarcoma cells by decreasing cell viability and increasing cell apoptosis and caspase-3/9 activity. Mechanically, NGR1 suppressed IL-6 secretion from BMSCs, as well as the subsequent activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling in osteosarcoma cells. In addition, blocking the JAK2 pathway by its antagonist AG490 reversed CM-induced osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration and doxorubicin resistance. Moreover, exogenous supplementation with IL-6 engendered not only the reactivation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling but also muted NGR1-mediated efficacy against osteosarcoma cell malignancy and doxorubicin resistance. Collectively, NGR1 may directly restrain osteosarcoma cell growth and migration, or indirectly antagonize MSC-evoked malignancy and drug resistance by interdicting IL-6 secretion-evoked activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Consequently, the current study may highlight a promising therapeutic strategy against osteosarcoma by regulating tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment.
