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

backgroundSince ancient times, several people in the Mediterranean region have employed Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra in traditional medicine. However, only the composition of its essential oils has received extensive research.

objectiveThis study investigated the cytogenetic and cytotoxic effects of H. triquetrifolium methanolic leaf extract on four different cancer cell lines.

methodsMethanolic extract of H. triquetrifolium leaves was prepared. Albino male mice were grouped into five: group 1 (blank control) received water;group II (CYP) received cyclophosphoamide; groups III, IV, and V were administered 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg of H. triquetrifolium extracts. On the 11th day, the animals were sacrificed and bone marrowwascollected. The metaphase index (MI) of the bone marrow cells was determined to evaluate the cytogenetic effect of the extract. The cytotoxic activity of the extract was tested on four cancer cell lines (HepG2, PC3, MDA, and A594), while WRL-68 normal cells were employed as control.

resultsThe index of bone marrow cells in cyclophosphamide (CYP)-treated albino male mice shows a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between concentration inhibition 50 % IC50 of cancer cell line compered to WRL-68 normal cells, on MDA and WRL-68 cells (IC50 =185.7, 200.7), HepG2 and WRL-68 (IC50 104.9, 564.6), A549 and WRL-68 (IC50 115, 192), PC3 and WRL-68 (IC50 160.7, 298.7). The results showed that the extracts was able to increase metaphase index compared to cyclophasoamide-treated mice, which caused a drop in the percentage of metaphase index.

conclusionsThe current study was showed that significant anti - proliferation activity of Hypericum triquetrifolium methanolic extract against MDA-MB-231 cell line is an epithelial, human breast cancer cell line,WRL-68, HepG2 and lung cancer cell lines (A594).
