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

backgroundSilybin, a major flavonoid extracted from the seeds of milk thistle, has a strong hepatoprotective but weak anti-hepatoma activity. Screening another natural ingredient and combining it with silybin is expected to improve the anti-hepatoma efficacy of silybin.

objectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the synergistic anti-hepatoma effect of resveratrol and silybin on HepG2 cells and H22 tumor-bearing mice in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

methodsCell viability, scratch wound, clone formation, cell apoptosis, cell cycle, and western blot analysis of HepG2 cells were used to investigate the synergistic effects

resultsThe combination of resveratrol (50 μg/mL) and silybin (100 μg/mL) significantly suppressed cell viability, whose combination index (CI) was 1.63 (>1.15), indicating the best synergism. The combination exhibited the synergistic effect in blocking the migration and proliferative capacity of HepG2 cells in the measurement

conclusionResveratrol was found to exhibit synergistic anti-cancer effects with silybin on HepG2 cells and H22 tumor-bearing mice.
