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

backgroundOsteosarcoma is a malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue in adolescents. Due to its tumor biological behavior pattern, osteosarcoma usually generates poor prognosis. Autophagy is an important self-defense mechanism in osteosarcoma.

methodsCell viability in IC

resultsAloin induced osteosarcoma apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Its possible effects on the PI3K/AKT pathway were screened out by network pharmacology methods. Aloin increased autophagic flux in osteosarcoma by downregulating the PI3K/AKT pathway. Aloin promoted autophagic flux in the osteosarcoma cell lines HOS and MG63 in a dose-dependent manner by promoting autophagosome formation. Chloroquine reversed the apoptosis-promoting and autophagy-enhancing effects of aloin. Autophagy induced by starvation and rapamycin significantly enhanced the autophagic flux and apoptosis induced by aloin, which verified the role of the PI3K/AKT axis in the pharmacological action of aloin. Therapeutic effects, autophagy enhancement and regulatory effects on the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were demonstrated in a nude mouse xenogeneic osteosarcoma transplantation model.

conclusionsAloin inhibited the proliferation of osteosarcoma by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, increasing autophagic flux and promoting the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells.
