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

Cardamomin has been widely studied in cancer, but its role in cancer bladder cancer has not been mentioned. In this study, we validated the anti-cancer effect of cardamom and whether its potential mechanism is related to the PI3K/AKT pathway. After treating with different doses of cardamomin, the cytotoxicity was studied by CCK8. Secondly, we analyzed the effect of cardamomin on the proliferation, apoptosis and cell movement. Next, we analyzed the regulation of ESR1 by western blot and its impact on the PI3K/AKT pathway. We also transfected ESR1 overexpression and silencing vectors, and verified the transfection efficiency through RT-qPCR. Further, the specific mechanism of the drug's inhibitory effect on bladder cancer was also determined. We constructed the subcutaneous tumor model in vivo. After cardamomin administration, we mainly analyzed the positive expression of KI67 in tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry, and the apoptotic cells in tumor tissues by TUNEL, and related proteins in PI3K/AKT pathway by western blot. In this paper, cardamomin inhibited cell proliferation and invasion ability, blocked the transition of G0/G1 phase to S phase, and increased apoptotic rate of 5637 and HT1376 cells, as well as raised ESR1 expression. Cardamomin exerted anti-tumor effect through PI3K/AKT pathway. In vivo animal experiments indicated the inhibitory effect of cardamomin on subcutaneous implanted tumor. Cardamomin inhibited the positive expression of KI67 and promoted the TUNEL-positive cells in tumor tissues. Consistent with in vitro assay, cardamomin increased the expression of ESR1 and downregulated the PI3K/AKT pathway. Cardamomin has a significant inhibitory effect on bladder cancer, and upregulate the expression of ESR1 in bladder cancer through PI3K/AKT.
