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: Retinoblastoma is a type of cancer that develops in the retina, mainly affecting infants and young children under five years old. Research indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) can either promote or suppress cancer, significantly impacting its development. Galangin exhibits potential anticancer effects, but further research is necessary to confirm its benefits. Methods: In this study, the MTT assay was used to assess cell viability. Changes in microRNA expression were analyzed using real-time PCR. The apoptotic effect of galangin was determined using flow cytometry. Changes in RB protein expression due to galangin treatment were determined using Western blotting. A t-test and 2-ΔΔCT were used for data analysis. Statistical significance was considered at Results: An IC50 of 13.08 μM was determined for the 48-hour MTT assay. Galangin treatment decreased the expression of miR-106a-5p by about 1.41-fold ( Conclusion: Our study showed that galangin has an apoptosis-inducing effect in Y79 cell lines. The apoptosis-inducing effect can be dose-dependent and can be reduced by increasing the dose. The increase in RB protein due to galangin treatment is accompanied by an increase in apoptosis. Galangin also affects the expression of miR-106a-5p, miR-519a-3p, and miR-21-5p.
