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

Objective: Ailanthone (AIL), a medicinal component with antitumor properties, was distilled from Material and Methods: We developed a subcutaneous BC mouse model and then administered AIL treatment. The effects of AIL on tumor tissue integrity and apoptosis were analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining methods. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of AIL on the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK/STAT3) pathway and associated proteins through quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Various concentrations of AIL were applied to BC cells, and its effects on cell survival, motility, and apoptosis were detected through cell counting kit-8 assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry. In addition, we examined the influence of AIL on apoptosis-related proteins and epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins in BC cells through Western blot analysis. Results: AIL significantly suppressed the growth and migration of 5637 and T24 cells while promoting apoptosis ( Conclusion: AIL exhibits multiple anticancer effects, such as BC cell growth suppression, apoptosis enhancement, reversion of EMT reversion, tumor growth, and JAK/STAT3 pathway activation suppression.
