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

backgroundTo analyze the inhibitory effects of Asiaticoside (ATS) on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stem cell-like properties of a pancreatic cancer cell line (PANC-1) by blocking the activation of p65 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK).

methodsATS concentrations were set at 0, 10, 25, and 50 µmol/L. The survival rate of PANC-1 cells in each group was detected by CCK-8, and CD133 and CD44 positive cells were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of Ki67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. The expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, sex-determining region Y-box2 (SOX2), and octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4) proteins, and the phosphorylation levels of p65 and p38MAPK were detected by western blot. Nude mouse xenograft models of the tumor were established by subcutaneous injection of PANC-1 cells (1×10

resultsAs the ATS concentration increased to 25 µmol/L, cell survival rate, levels of Ki67 and PCNA mRNA, expression of N-cadherin, vimentin, SOX2, OCT4, p-p65/p65, and p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK proteins, and the proportions of CD44

conclusionsATS may inhibit the proliferation, EMT, and stem cell-like properties of pancreatic cancer cells by blocking the phosphorylation of p38MAPK and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/p65 in PANC-1 cells.
