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

Osteosarcoma, the most common primary bone cancer in adolescents, often carries a grim prognosis due to its high metastatic potential. Due to its low bioavailability, curcumin limits its adjuvant efficacy in improving prognosis and long-term survival in osteosarcoma patients. To investigate apoptosis induced by the synthesised curcumin analog GO-Y030 in human osteosarcoma cells, flow cytometry, annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled/propidium iodide staining, human apoptosis array, and Western blotting were used. GO-Y030 dose-dependently reduced viability and induced sub-G1 arrest and apoptosis in human osteosarcoma U2OS and 143B cells. GO-Y030 significantly activated caspases 8, 9, and 3, while suppressing cellular inhibitors of apoptosis protein 1 (cIAP-1) and X-chromosome-linked IAP. GO-Y030 increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK)1/2, c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK)1/2, and p38. Inhibitors of JNK (JNK-IN-8) and p38 (SB203580) suppressed GO-Y030-induced cleavage of caspases 8, 9, and 3, whereas co-treatment with the ERK inhibitor (U0126) did not lessen their activation. Overall, GO-Y030 triggers both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic cascades in U2OS and 143B cells by activating the JNK1/2 and p38 pathways, shedding light on its mechanism of action against human osteosarcoma cells.
