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

Selaginella tamariscina (ST), a well-known traditional medicinal plant, has been used to treat various cancers, including pancreatic cancer. However, the underlying mechanism by which Selaginellin B, a natural pigment isolated and purified from ST, protects against pancreatic cells has yet to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the biological functions of Selaginellin B were investigated using apoptosis, migration and colony formation assays in ASPC-1 and PANC-1 cells. In addition, apoptosis-associated proteins were detected by Western blotting. Our results demonstrated that Selaginellin B induced apoptosis, as evidenced by the increased cleaved caspase-3 level and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Moreover, Selaginellin B led to a marked up-regulation of the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I in ASPC-1 and PANC-1 cells, respectively. Furthermore, reverse pharmacophore screening, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed that Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) may be a potential target for Selaginellin B. In summary, the results of the present research have demonstrated that Selaginellin B is an effective anticancer agent against PANC-1 and ASPC-1 cells, and the compound holds great promise for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
