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

objectiveTo explore the effect of dibenzyl trisulfide (DTS) on cell proliferation and apoptosis in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) HN30 cells.

objectiveThe effects of DTS on proliferation of HNSCC cell lines HN30, HN12, and SCC25 were examined by assessing colony formation ability of the treated cells. The effect of different concentrations of DTS on viability of HN30 cells was assessed using MTT assay. HN30 cells were treated with 3, 10, or 30 μmol/L DTS for 24 h, and the cell apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were detected using flow cytometry with annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI double staining and JC-1 fluorescent probe staining. Western blotting was performed to determine the protein expressions of caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3 and Bcl-2 in the treated cells. The phosphorylation levels of Akt and p53 in HN30 cells were detected using Western blotting after treatment with 10 μmol/L DTS for 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 h.

objectiveDTS at 1 μmol/L significantly inhibited the proliferation of HN30, HN12 and SCC25 cells as shown by colony formation assay. MTT assay showed that DTS dose-dependently decreased HN30 cell viability as compared with the solvent control group, and 100 μmol/L DTS produced the strongest inhibitory effect (

objectiveDTS inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of HN30 cells possibly through mechanisms involving the inhibition of Akt and the activation of p53.
