Study of the effects of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor on the promotion of hepatic tumorigenesis in rats fed a high fat diet.

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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. The highest prevalence of hepatitis is an important risk factor contributing to development of HCCs. However, an increasing number of cases are associated metabolic disease and steatohepatitis. Inflammation associated with many liver disease, seems to be a necessary pre-requisite for successful tumor initiation. Mechanisms that link high fat diet and inflammation initial stage of HCC are not completely understood. The present work was designed to investigate the effect of fat, through modulation of the insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II), on the promotion of hepatocellular carcinoma, and the role of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2).
methodstwo main groups of rats were used: control and HCC groups. The HCC group was further sub-divide in to two subgroups, HCC fed with standard diet and HCC fed with high fat diet. The effects of celecoxib were also investigated in HCC fed with high fat diet.
resultsWe found that high fat diet was associated with significant increases in COX2 and interleukin 6 (IL6) with significant promotion of HCC progression. The significant increase in IGF could contribute partially to the observed effects of high fat diet. In addition, celecoxib was found to significantly reduce HCC progression.
conclusionsWe conclude that COX2 could play central role in high prevalence of HCC observed with high fat diet. Several triggering factors such as IGF and IL6, together with the direct modulation of fat metabolism could open several novel preventive strategies of celecoxib treatment, and could be useful biomarkers for assessment of its pharmacological effects.
