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

backgroundThe anti-cancer effects of Gynura procumbens leaves extract (GPE) have been reported in various human cancers. However, the anti-cancer effects and molecular mechanisms of this extract on canine mammary cancer (CMC) have not yet been elucidated.

objectivesThe main goal of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer properties of GPE against two CMC cell lines (CHMp-13a and CHMp-5b).

methodsThe GP leaves were extracted with 80% ethanol. Anti-cancer potentials of GPE on CHMp-13a and CHMp-5b cancer cell lines using dimethyl-2-thiazolyl-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), wound healing, transwell migration, and caspase 3/7 activity assays were evaluated. The mRNA expression levels of two oncogenes: epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and twist family bHLH transcription factor 1 (TWIST) and one tumour suppressor gene: phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in these cell lines were determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). In addition, The EGFR and PTEN protein levels as well as protein kinase B (AKT) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation levels expression were also evaluated by western blot analysis.

resultsThe results showed that GPE caused a significant concentration- and time-dependent reduction in cell proliferation of both CHMp-13a and CHMp-5b cells, detected by MTT assays. This extract also significantly suppressed cancer cell migration in both cell lines, tested by wound healing and transwell migration assays. Additionally, the increase in caspase 3/7 activity observed in both CMC cell treated with GPE suggests that GPE induced caspase 3/7 dependent apoptosis. Moreover, GPE significantly decreased EGFR mRNA and protein expression levels compared to control in both cell lines in a dose-dependent manner.

conclusionThese findings emphasized that GPE has an in vitro anti-cancer activity against CMC by inhibiting EGFR signalling pathway. Thus, GPE may serve as an alternative therapy in CMC with high EGFR expression.
