Induction of Apoptosis by an Extract of Persian Gulf Marine Mollusc, Turbo Coronatus through the Production of Reactive Oxygen Species in Mouse Melanoma Cells
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: A variety of approaches such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy and immunotherapy are used to treat melanomas, but unfortunately in most case, the response is very weak and often side effects are serious. This study concerns selective toxicity of an extract of Turbo coronatus on cells and mitochondria from a syngeneic mouse model of melanoma. Methods: Cells and mitochondria isolated from extra tumoral and melanoma tissues were exposed toa T. coronatus crude extract and fractions obtained by gel-filtration chromatography and assayed for mitochondrial and cellular parameters. Result: Crude extract (375, 750 and 1,500 μg/ml) and fraction 1; F1; (275, 550 and 1100 μg/ml) of T. coronatus extract induced a significant (p<0.05) increase of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, swelling of mitochondria, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), release of cytochrome c and caspase-3 activation only in the mitochondria and cells obtained from melanoma but not extra tumoral tissues. In addition, the F1 fraction decreased the percentage of viable cells and induced apoptosis in melanoma cells. Conclusion: For the first time we could demonstrate that the F1 fraction of a T. coronatus extract, selectively induces ROS mediated cytotoxicity by directly targeting mitochondria in melanoma tissues and it may be a suitable candidate for novel drug treatment of malignant melanomas.
