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

Curcumin, a yellow pigment in turmeric, is a food factor withantioxidative activity. The effect of curcumin on the proliferation and invasion of the rat ascites hepatoma AH109Acells was studied in vitro and ex vivo assay systems. Especially, a co-culture system of the hepatoma cellswith mesothelial cells derived from rat mesentery was employed to investigate the invasive motility. Curcumin suppressed thehepatoma slipping motility in a dose-dependent manner up to 5 muM and thereafter maintained the effect up to 20 muM, whereas this substance exerted little influence on the proliferation of the hepatoma cells at the same concentrations. Sera obtained from rats orally given curcumin also inhibited the AH109A cellular invasive movement when added to the culturemedium. Hepatoma cells previously cultured with hypoxanthineand xanthine oxidase showed a highly invasive activity. Curcumin and curcumin-loaded rat sera suppressed this reactive oxygen species-potentiated invasive capacity by simultaneously treating AH109A cells with hypoxanthine, xanthine oxidase and either of curcumin samples. These resultssuggest that the antioxidative property of curcumin may beinvolved in its anti-invasive action.
