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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of solasonine, an active component of

methodsPC9 cells were treated with 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 μmol/L solasonine, and the changes in cell proliferation were examined using CCK-8 assay. Tetramethyl rhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) was used to detect the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential, and caspase-3/7 detection kit and GreenNuc

resultsSolasonine treatment for 24, 48, and 72 h significantly lowered the viability of PC9 cells. The cells treated with solasonine for 24 h showed significantly decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and increased cell apoptosis with enhanced caspase-3/7 and caspase-3 activities and expression of cleaved caspase-3. Solasonine treatment significantly decreased phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt, increased the protein expressions of PTEN and Bax, and lowered the expression of Bcl-2 protein in the cells.

conclusionSolasonine inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of PC9 cells by regulating the Bcl-2/Bax/caspase-3 pathway and its upstream proteins.
