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

backgroundEpigenetic changes, including DNA methylation and histone modification, alter gene expression without the nucleotide template alterations and are associated with all stages of tumor formation and progression. Previously, we investigated the effects of DNA demethylating agents and histone deacetylase inhibitors on hepatocellular carcinoma and colon cancers. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-CdR, decitabine) and valproic acid (VPA), individually as well as combined on apoptosis induction and cell growth inhibition in colon cancer HT 29 cell line.

methodsThe effect of the compounds on the cell viability was measured by MTT assay. To determine cell apoptosis, the cells were treated with 5-aza-CdR and VPA. Propidium iodide was used for staining and the cells were analyzed using flow cytometry.

resultsBoth agents decreased cell viability in a time and dose-dependent manner significantly (

conclusionsOur findings suggest that 5-aza-CdR and VPA can significantly inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in colon cancer HT 29 cell line.
