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

introductionTrichosanthin (TK) is a glycoprotein extracted from the Chinese medicinal herb Trichosanthes kirilowi, which has anti-virus and anti-tumor activity. However, the target and detailed mechanism of TK remains elusive.

objectivesWe aimed to identify novel antitumor targets of TK in lung adenocarcinoma and study its anti-tumor mechanism.

methodsWe utilized a Lewis lung carcinoma mouse model to evaluate the inhibition of TK on tumor growth. CCK8 assay was utilized to calculate IC

resultsTrichosanthin ihibited the tumor growth in vivo, resulting cancer cell growth inhibition and cell death, with almost no effect on normal cells. IC

conclusionTrichosanthin elicits antitumor activity in lung adenocarcinoma via repressing DNMT3B and increasing FOSL2, which in turn induces MICU3-mediated mitochondrial calcium influx and tumor cell death.
