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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the malignant hematological cancers with high mortality. Finding a more effective and readily available treatment is of the utmost importance. Here, we aimed to identify the anti-leukemia effect of a natural small molecule compound honokiol on a panel of AML cell lines, including THP-1, U-937, and SKM-1, and explored honokiol's potential biological pathways and mechanisms. The results showed that honokiol decreased the viability of the targeted AML cells, induced their cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase, and inhibited their colony-formation capacity. Honokiol also triggers a noncanonical ferroptosis pathway in THP-1 and U-937 cells by upregulating the level of intracellular lipid peroxide and HMOX1 significantly. Subsequent studies verified that HMOX1 was a critical target in honokiol-induced ferroptosis. These results reveal that honokiol is an effective anti-leukemia agent in AML cell lines and may be a potential ferroptosis activator in AML.
