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

Introduction: Sulforaphane is an active isothiocyanate and has been reported to exhibit many pharmacological and biological activities including anticancer activity. The current study was undertaken to examine its anticancer activity against human hepatoblastoma. Material and methods: MTT and clonogenic assays were used to assess the antiproliferative effects of sulforaphane. Annexin V/PI staining and immunofluorescence microscopy were used to monitor the induction of apoptosis. GFP-LC3 transfection and fluorescence microscopy were used to investigate the induction of autophagy. Cell migration and invasion were assessed through wound healing and transwell chamber assay. Protein expression was determined by western blot analysis. Results: The results indicated that sulforaphane induced antiproliferative effects on the hepatoblastoma cell lines and exhibited an IC Conclusions: The results indicated that sulforaphane is a potential anticancer agent and may be considered as a lead molecule in the development of hepatoblastoma chemotherapy.
