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

Ovarian cancer ranks eighth in cancer incidence and mortality among women worldwide. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is commonly used for patients with ovarian cancer. However, the clinical efficacy of cisplatin is limited due to the occurrence of adverse side effects and development of cancer chemoresistance during treatment. Trans-(±)-kusunokinin has been previously reported to inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis in various cancer cell types, including breast, colon and cholangiocarcinoma. However, the potential effects of (±)-kusunokinin on ovarian cancer remains unknown. In the present study, chemosensitive ovarian cancer cell line A2780 and chemoresistant ovarian cancer cell lines A2780cis, SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3 were treated with trans-(±)-kusunokinin to investigate its potential effects. MTT, colony formation, apoptosis and multi-caspase assays were used to determine cytotoxicity, the ability of single cells to form colonies, induction of apoptosis and multi-caspase activity, respectively. Moreover, western blot analysis was performed to determine the proteins level of topoisomerase II, cyclin D1, CDK1, Bax and p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA). The results demonstrated that trans-(±)-kusunokinin exhibited the strongest cytotoxicity against A2780cis cells with an IC
