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

Neoadjuvant treatment options for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)-enriched and luminal B molecular subtypes of clinical breast cancer include HER-2-targeted therapy with chemotherapy or anti-hormonal therapy. These treatment options result in systemic toxicity and acquired tumor resistance. Minimally toxic naturally occurring phytochemicals may represent testable alternatives to conventional therapy. HER-2-overexpressing tumorigenic human mammary epithelial 184-B5/HER cells represent a model for the HER-2-enriched breast cancer subtype. Non-fractionated rosemary extract (RME) and constituent phenolic terpenoids ursolic acid (UA), carnosol (CSOL) and carnosic acid (CA) represented the test agents. Anchorage-independent (AI) proliferation, cell cycle progression, cellular apoptosis and expression of cell cycle-regulatory and apoptosis-specific proteins represented the mechanistic end point biomarkers. Relative to the parental non-tumorigenic 184-B5 cells, tumorigenic 184-B5/HER cells exhibited decreased population doubling, increased saturation density, accelerated cell cycle progression and downregulated cellular apoptosis, confirming the loss of homeostatic control of proliferation. Treatment with the test agents resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in AI colony number, indicating a decrease in cancer risk. Mechanistically, RME and UA inhibited G
