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

purposeAlisol A is a bioactive triterpenoid isolated from the Rhizoma Alismatis. Previous studies have shown that alisol A has anticancer potential. In this study, we explored the effect of alisol A on the growth of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. MATERIALS AND

methodsMTT assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, transwell assay, wound healing assay, and western blotting were used to assess cell viability, proliferation, cell cycle, migration, invasion, and protein expression, respectively, in vitro. AutoDock Vina and Discovery Studio software were used for molecular docking.

resultsAlisol A inhibited the viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion of NPC cells. The molecular docking simulation assay confirmed that alisol A bound to YAP protein. In addition, alisol A promoted the phosphorylation of YAP and suppressed the expression of YAP in NPC cells.

conclusionAlisol A inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NPC cells by inhibiting the Hippo signaling pathway. Alisol A may be a candidate drug for NPC.
