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

Ovarian toxicity is most common gynecologically related malignancy, arising for most cases owing to the advanced stage of diagnosis. The aim of the current study was to explore the anticancer potential of baicalin against cyclophosphamide (CP) induced ovarian toxicity in mice and explore the possible mechanism. ovarian cancer cells (Hey, SKOv3ip and HO891PM) were treated with different doses of baicalin and examined via flow cytometry and cell proliferation assay. Subcutaneous administration of CP (200 mg/kg) was used to induce the ovary toxicity and mice were received the oral administration of baicalin. Oxidative, pro-inflammatory, inflammatory, apoptosis parameters, progesterone, estrogen hormones and histopathological were also estimated at end of the study. Baicalin increased the apoptosis and caused the cell cycle arrest at the G2/M stage in ovarian cancer cells. Baicalin significantly (P < 0.001) reduced the level of TGF-β in the HO8910PM, SKOv3ip and Hey cell lines. Baicalin significantly (P < 0.001) increased the body weight and reduced the tumor volume in mice. Baicalin significantly (P < 0.001) increased the level of estrogen and progesterone. Baicalin significantly (P < 0.001) reduced the level of malonaldehyde (MDA) and increased the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Baicalin significantly (P < 0.001) decreased the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and inflammatory parameter such as nuclear kappa B factor (NF-κB), respectively. Baicalin significantly (P < 0.001) reduced the level of the caspase-3. Baicalin, act as the potential agent against the ovarian toxicity by alteration of TGF-β and inflammatory pathways.
