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

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) features among the most aggressive manifestations of cancer due to its enhanced metastatic potential and immunity to therapeutics which target hormone receptors. Under such scenarios, anti-cancer compounds with an ability to influence multiple targets, or an entire process, will have an advantage over specific signal transduction inhibitors. To counter the metastatic threat it is essential to target cellular components central to the processes of cancer cell migration and adaptation. Our previous work on a novel triterpenoid, AECHL-1, explored its anti-cancer potential, and linked it to elevated ER stress in cancer cells, while its anti-angiogenic potential was credited for its ability to manipulate the cytoskeleton. Here, we broaden its range of action by showing that it curbs the metastatic ability of TNBC cells, both in vitro in MDA-MB-231 cell line and in vivo, in mouse models of metastasis. AECHL-1 does so by disrupting the cytoskeletal network, and also suppressing NF-κB and β-Catenin mediated key molecular pathways. These activities also contributed to AECHL-1 mediated suppression of TGF-β/TNF-α induced Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and cancer stem cell characteristic. Thus, we present AECHL-1 as a promising therapeutic inhibitor of metastatic disease.
