The evaluation of the anti-cancer effects of Anoectochilus roxburghii on hematological cancers in vitro.

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.
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
The cause of hematological cancers is the uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, and chemotherapy is used to treat cancer. However, adverse side effects of chemotherapy are common. Therefore, the use of plant extracts as a method for treating cancer is becoming increasingly popular. Anoectochilus roxburghii (wall.) Lindl. (A. roxburghii) is one of the original sources of the valuable medicinal plants known as the king medicine and the golden grass. This study investigated the potential anticancer effect of A. roxburghi (AR) on JURKAT, MM1S, THP1 and U266 cells. To test the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of AR, hematological cancer cells were exposed to increasing doses of AR (0.1-0.5 µg/µl). The spectrophotometric MTT assay and the flow cytometric Annexin V staining were used to examine the viability and apoptosis of the cells, respectively. qRT-PCR was used to determine the expression levels of the apoptosis-related genes BAD, BAX, BIM and BCL-2. Our results show that AR treatment decreased cell viability and induced apoptosis in each cell line. Our RT-PCR data showed that AR significantly increased the expression levels of the pro-apoptotic BAX gene in JURKAT and MM1S cells, whereas it significantly increased the expression levels of both BAX and BIM in U266 cells. This is the first study to investigate how AR modulates apoptosis in hematological cancer cells. As a result, AR therapy may be a promising treatment modality for the treatment of cancer.
