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

Introduction: Methods: Trypan blue & tetrazolium assay, intracellular ROS generation, chromatin condensation, cell cycle analysis, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), mineralization, and osteogenic gene expression were tested on both treated and untreated osteosarcoma SaOS-2 cells. Results: As revealed by cell viability assay, growth activity was observed at concentrations 25 and 50 μg/mL of MOL extract, whereas 100 and 200 μg/mL doses decreased the proliferation activity, resulting in ROS production and chromatin condensation. Cell cycle study revealed that MOL extract at 50 and 100 μg/mL concentrations arrested the cells in the G2/M phase. Low doses increased the ALP levels, mineralization, and expression of the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) genes in osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells, however, high doses inhibited the proliferation properties of MOL extract. Through AutoDock Vina and iGEMDOCK 2.1, the interaction of active components of MOL, such as β-sitosterol, quercetin and kaempferol, with BMP2 and Runx2 proteins revealed a reasonable binding affinity. Moreover, these components did not show any Lipinski's rule of five violation and showed predictable pharmacokinetic properties. Conclusion: The results of the biphasic dose-response of MOL extract on the growth activity of osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells and
