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

backgroundMarine animals have been considered by many researchers due to their various pharmacological effects. One group of marine animals that have been studied is cone snails. The conotoxin obtained from these marine animals has various therapeutic effects.

methodsThis study was designed to investigate the apoptotic effects of crude venom of Conus textile and its fractions (A and B) on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells. Accordingly, parameters such as cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, collapse in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), lysosomal membrane damage and caspase-3 activation were evaluated.

resultsThe results showed that the crude venom (50, 100 and 200 µg/ml) from Conus textile and its fraction B (50, 100 and 200 µg/ml) significantly reduced viability in CLL B-lymphocyte. In addition, exposure of CLL B-lymphocyte to fraction B (50, 100 and 200 µg/ml) was associated with an increase in the level of ROS, the collapse of the MMP, damage to the lysosomal membrane, and activation of caspase-3.

conclusionAccording to results, it was concluded that fraction B from crude venom of Conus textile causes selective toxicity on CLL B-lymphocyte with almost no effect on a normal lymphocyte. Furthermore, this venom fraction could be a promising candidate for induction of apoptosis in patients with CLL through the mitochondrial pathway.
