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

backgroundIn China Banxia Xiexin decoction (BXD) has been used in treating gastric cancer (GC) for thousands of years. BXD has been shown to reverse GC histopathology, but its chemical composition and action mechanism are still unknown.

aimTo investigate the mechanism of BXD against GC based on utilizing transcriptomics and proteomics techniques experiments.

methodsUsing the AGS cell line as the model group, the Cell Counting Kit-8 method and Annexin V-AbFluor™ were employed 488/propidium iodide double staining method was used to detect the levels of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Differential expression genes and differentially expressed proteins before and after BXD intervention were detected using RNA-seq and Pro DIA techniques. Key transcription factors were identified by enrichment and analysis using Metascape, and the key pathways were validated by western blot and reverse transcription PCR

resultsBXD significantly inhibited the proliferation rate and migration rate of GC cells and promoted cell apoptosis. The comprehensive analysis of transcriptomics and proteomics showed that five transcription factors, namely phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha, phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1, AKT serine/threonine kinase 1, heat shock protein 90 alpha family class A member 1, and tumor protein p53, were key factors in BXD-mediated anti-cancer therapy and participated in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway.

conclusionTranscriptomic and proteomic analysis showed that BXD inhibited tumor growth and slowed cancer progression by suppressing five factors in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, including phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha, phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1, and AKT serine/threonine kinase 1.
