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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an aggressive malignancy. Critical mechanisms that support CRC progression include cell migration, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis, which is associated with L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways. In this study, viability of HT-29 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays, and cell apoptosis was investigated by flow cytometry assays. HT-29 cell migration and invasion were observed by wound healing and Transwell invasion assays, respectively, and tube formation of HUVECs was observed by tubulogenesis assays. L1CAM and NF-κB protein expressions in HT-29 cells treated with onion peel extract were determined by indirect immunofluorescence. Results showed that high dose treatments of onion peel extract inhibited cell viability of both HT-29 cells and HUVECs, induced HT-29 cell apoptosis, and inhibited HT-29 cell migration and invasion. Moreover, onion peel extract decreased total HUVEC tube length and, at a concentration of 10 μg/mL, showed potential to downregulate L1CAM and NF-κB. In conclusion, onion peel extract inhibits HT-29 cell growth, migration, and invasion through suppressing pathways related to angiogenesis downstream of L1CAM-activated NF-κB.
