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

Purpose: This study reported the efficacy and underlying mechanism of agrimonolide (AM) in treating colon cancer. Methods: Colon cancer-AM-related targets were screened from online database. AM targets for colon cancer were identified by Venn diagram. Main molecular function, biological process, cellular component and pathways associated with AM targets for colon cancer were analyzed by GO and KEGG enrichment analysis. Relationship of the 10 core targets of AM for colon cancer with the top 15 BP and KEGG pathways was analyzed by Cytoscape software. A "component-target-pathway" network was constructed to select the hub genes of AM for colon cancer. AM effects on colon cancer cell viability, proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis were researched by CCK-8, colony formation, Transwell invasion, wound healing and flow cytometry assays. Tumor-bearing nude mice models were constructed and given AM treatment. Hub gene expression in cells/tissues was detected by Western blot. Results: A total of 107 targets were selected as AM targets for colon cancer. The 10 core targets were related to the top 15 biological process terms and KEGG pathways. PI3K, AKT and mTOR were selected as the hub genes of AM for colon cancer. AM weakened colon cell proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis inhibition, and suppressed colon cell in vivo growth. AM up-regulated Caspase-3 and BAX proteins, down-regulated C-Myc, Cyclin D1 and BCL-2 proteins, and inactivated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion: AM suppressed colon cancer progression through inactivating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. It may be useful for colon cancer treatment.
