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

Available treatment strategies against estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer patients are limited due to their poor response to hormonal therapy. We have shown previously that the combinations of green tea polyphenols (GTPs), a dietary DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, and sulforaphane (SFN), a dietary histone deacetylase inhibitor, reactivate ERα expression in ERα-negative MDA-MB-231 cells. Here, we investigated the functional significance of ERα reactivation in the reactivation of silenced tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) in ERα-negative human breast cancer cells. We found that the treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with the combinations of GTPs and SFN leads to the reactivation of silenced TSGs such as p21(CIP1/WAF1) and KLOTHO through active chromatin modifications. Further, GTPs- and SFN-mediated reactivation of TSGs was, at least in part, dependent on ERα reactivation in ERα-negative MDA-MB-231 cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that a novel combination of bioactive dietary supplements could further be explored as an effective therapeutic option against hormonal refractory breast cancer.
