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

Due to the anti-proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects of retinoic acid (RA), this hormone has emerged as a target for several diseases, including cancer. However, development of retinoid resistance is a critical issue and efforts to understand the retinoid signaling pathway may identify useful biomarkers for future clinical trials. Apoptotic responses of RA are exhibited through the cellular RA-binding protein II (CRABPII)/retinoic acid receptor (RAR) signaling cascade. Delivery of RA to RAR by CRABPII enhances the transcriptional activity of genes involved in cell death and cell cycle arrest. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of curcumin in sensitizing RA-resistant triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells to RA-mediated apoptosis. We provide evidence that curcumin upregulates the expression of CRABPII, RARβ and RARγ in two different TNBC cell lines. Co-treatment of the cells with curcumin and RA results in increased apoptosis as demonstrated by elevated cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and cleaved caspase-9. Additionally, silencing CRABPII reverses curcumin sensitization of TNBC cells to the apoptotic inducing effects of RA. These findings provide mechanistic insights into sensitizing TNBC cells to RA-mediated cell death by curcumin-induced upregulation of the CRABPII/RAR pathway.
