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

Glioblastoma is the most common brain cancer in adults. It represents one of the top ten malignant tumors with an average survival time of nine months despite treatments with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Curcumin is a phytochemical turmeric isolated from root of the Curcuma longa plant. Accumulating evidence have proved that curcumin targets numerous cancer signaling pathways. The E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4, neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated protein 4, is frequently overexpressed in various cancers. However, whether curcumin regulates NEDD4 expression has not been described in human cancers. Therefore, in this study, we explored the roles of NEDD4 in glioma cell proliferation, apoptosis and mobility. We further investigated whether curcumin exerts its antitumor activities via suppressing NEDD4 expression. We found that curcumin reduced the expression of NEDD4 and Notch1 and pAKT, leading to glioma cell growth inhibition, apoptosis, and suppression of migration and invasion. Moreover, deletion of NEDD4 expression enhanced the sensitivity of glioma cells to curcumin treatment. Thus, inactivation of NEDD4 by curcumin could be a promising approach for therapeutic intervention.
