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

Aim: This study was designed to investigate the anticancer efficacy of the organic leaf extracts of the plant, Methods: The leaf extracts were prepared by polarity-graded serial extraction of the dried leaf powder. The cytotoxic effect of the extracts was analyzed by the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The most active ethyl acetate extract was subjected to bioactivity-guided fractionation by column chromatography, which yielded a cytotoxic fraction designated as the Results: A bioactive fraction PVF, was isolated from the ethyl acetate leaf extract. PVF showed significant anticancer activity against colon cancer cells, whilst normal cells were comparatively less affected. PVF induced strong apoptotic stimuli in colorectal carcinoma cell line HCT116, involving both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. Investigation into the molecular mechanism of anticancer activity of PVF in HCT116 cells revealed that the fraction activates the pro-apoptotic pathway via tumor suppressor protein 53 (p53) and inhibits the anti-apoptotic pathway by regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling. Conclusions: The findings of this study demonstrate, with mechanism-based evidence, the chemotherapeutic potential of a bioactive fraction PVF, derived from the leaves of the medicinal plant
