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

Fucoxanthin and its major metabolite, fucoxanthinol, have potent anti-cancer properties in carcinogenic model mice and against cancer cells. Evidence has accumulated regarding the diagnostic potential of biological metabolites as invasive and non-invasive obtainable approaches. We recently demonstrated that glycine was an effective predictor of the suppression of sphere formation and epithelial mesenchymal transition by fucoxanthinol in human colorectal cancer stem-like spheroids (colonospheres) under normoxia and hypoxia. In the present study, we investigated the suppressive effect of fucoxanthin on tumorigenesis derived from colonospheres in xenograft mice, and the alteration on the metabolite profiles of mouse tumors by fucoxanthin was evaluated. Fucoxanthin administration at 2.5 mg/kg body weight (p.o.) for 4 weeks significantly inhibited the incidence of tumors by inoculation of colonospheres suspension in BALB/c
