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

Pinostrobin (PN) is the most abundant flavonoid found in fingerroot. Although the anti-leukemic properties of PN have been reported, its mechanisms are still unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that function in posttranscriptional silencing and are increasingly being used in cancer therapy. The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of PN on proliferation inhibition and induction of apoptosis, as well as the involvement of miRNAs in PN-mediated apoptosis in acute leukemia. The results showed that PN reduced cell viability and induced apoptosis in acute leukemia cells via both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. A bioinformatics approach and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis revealed that ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM), one of the p53 activators that responds to DNA damage-induced apoptosis, is a crucial target of PN. Four prediction tools were used to predict ATM-regulated miRNAs; miR-181b-5p was the most likely candidate. The reduction in miR-181b-5 after PN treatment was found to trigger ATM, resulting in cellular apoptosis. Therefore, PN could be developed as a drug for acute leukemia; in addition, miR-181b-5p and ATM may be promising therapeutic targets.
