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 (CUR), a polyphenol derived from the plant Curcuma longa, displays potential anti-cancer activity. One of the mechanisms stems from its ability to elicit cell cycle arrest followed by suppression of cell proliferation. Herein, we reported that CUR significantly induced DNA damage and mediated S and G2/M phase arrest in colorectal carcinoma HCT116 cells. Unlike etoposide, a classical topoisomerase II inhibitor, CUR-triggered G2/M phase arrest was hardly reversed by caffeine (CAFF) which is an inhibitor of activated ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM)/ATM- and Rad3-related (ATR), indicating that ATM and ATR signaling pathways may be not involved in CUR-mediated S and G2/M phase arrest in HCT116 cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CUR caused mitosis arrest in HCT116 cells by using mitotic protein monoclonal antibody-2 as a mitosis marker and the surface plasmon resonance assay. The findings provide new mechanisms of cell proliferation inhibition triggered by CUR in HCT116 cells.
