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

Myricetin, a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables, is known to have antioxidant and anticancer effects. However, the anticancer effects of myricetin on SK‑BR‑3 human breast cancer cells have not been elucidated. In the present study, the anticancer effects of myricetin were confirmed in human breast cancer SK‑BR‑3 cells. As the concentration of myricetin increased, the cell viability decreased. DAPI (4',6‑diamidino‑2‑phenylindole) and Annexin V/PI staining also revealed a significant increase in apoptotic bodies and apoptosis. Western blot analysis was performed to confirm the myricetin‑induced expression of apoptosis‑related proteins. The levels of cleaved PARP and Bax proteins were increased, and that of Bcl‑2 was decreased. The levels of proteins in the mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway were examined to confirm the mechanism of myricetin‑induced apoptosis, and it was found that the expression levels of phosphorylated c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase (p‑JNK) and phosphorylated mitogen‑activated protein kinases (p‑p38) were increased, whereas that of phosphorylated extracellular‑regulated kinase (p‑ERK) was decreased. It was also demonstrated that myricetin induced autophagy by promoting autophagy‑related proteins such as microtubule‑associated protein 1A/1B‑light chain 3 (LC 3) and beclin 1. In addition, 3‑methyladenine (3‑MA) was used to evaluate the association between cell viability and autophagy in cells treated with myricetin. The results showed that simultaneous treatment with 3‑MA and myricetin promoted the apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Furthermore, treatment with a JNK inhibitor reduced cell viability, promoted Bax expression, and reduced the expression of p‑JNK, Bcl‑2, and LC 3‑II/I. These results suggest that myricetin induces apoptosis via the MAPK pathway and regulates JNK‑mediated autophagy in SK‑BR‑3 cells. In conclusion, myricetin shows potential as a natural anticancer agent in SK‑BR‑3 cells.
