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

introductionChlorogenic acid (CGA) is a type of polyphenolic substance that is widely extracted from many traditional Chinese medicines (eg,

methodsNetwork pharmacology analysis was used to explore the potential therapeutic targets of CGA in glioma. Human glioma U373 cells were treated with different concentrations of CGA for 24 h. CCK-8 assays were used to detect the inhibitory rate of cell growth. Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and Hoechst 33342 staining were used to detect apoptosis. PI staining was used to investigate cell-cycle progression. Wound healing assays and transwell assays were used to detect the cell migration and invasion, respectively. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to measure protein levels in vitro and in vivo.

resultsThe proliferation of U373 cells was significantly inhibited by CGA in a dose- and time-dependent manner. CGA significantly arrested the cell cycle of U373 cells in the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis. Moreover, CGA significantly suppressed the migration and invasion of U373 cells. Additionally, we found that CGA inhibited the growth of U373 cells in vivo. Furthermore, network pharmacology analysis suggested that the anti-tumor effects of CGA on U373 cells were associated with the down-regulation of the SRC/MAPKs signaling pathway. DISCUSSION: The present study indicated that CGA had anti-glioma effects on U373 cells by down-regulating SRC/MAPKs signal pathway.
