Piperine depresses the migration progression via downregulating the Akt/mTOR/MMP‑9 signaling pathway in DU145 cells.
Article in Molecular medicine reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Piperine, an alkaloid derived from natural products, has been demonstrated to exert antitumor activities in vivo and in vitro. However, its anti‑tumor effect has not yet been illustrated in the prostate cancer (PCa) metastatic process. Thus, the present study explored the influence of piperine on PCa and the underlying molecular mechanism. Cell migration was detected via the Transwell chamber model. Total protein was identified by western blot analysis. The data revealed that piperine markedly repressed cell proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis in PCa DU145. In addition, LY294002, an protein kinase B (Akt) inhibitor, greatly suppressed the expression level of phospho (p)‑Akt, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‑9 and p‑mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), suggesting that the activation of the Akt/mTOR/MMP‑9 signaling pathway may participate in regulating cell migration in PCa. Furthermore, piperine reduced the expression of p‑Akt, MMP‑9 and p‑mTOR. Together, these data indicated that piperine may serve as a promising novel therapeutic agent to better overcome PCa metastasis.
