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

Epigenetic mechanisms play an important role in the early stages of carcinogenesis. Moringa isothiocyanate (MIC-1) is a major bioactive component derived from Moringa oleifera that has considerable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, how MIC-1 influences epigenomic alterations in TPA-mediated JB6 cell carcinogenic transformation has not been evaluated. In this study, DNA and RNA isolated from TPA-induced JB6 cells in the presence or absence of MIC-1 were subjected to DNA Methyl-seq and RNA-seq to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively. When JB6 cells were challenged with TPA alone, there was a significant alteration of DEGs and DMRs; importantly, MIC-1 treatment reversed the patterns of some of the DEGs and DMRs. Transcriptome and CpG methylome profiling was performed in Ingenuity® Pathway Analysis (IPA) software to analyze the altered signaling pathways. Several anti-inflammatory responses, antioxidative stress-related pathways, and anticancer-related pathways were identified to be affected by MIC-1. These pathways included NF-kB, IL-1, LPS/IL-1-mediated inhibition of RXR function, Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress response, p53, and PTEN signaling pathways. Examination of correlations between transcriptomic and CpG methylome profiles yielded a small subset of genes, including the cancer-related genes Tmpt, Tubb3, and Muc2; the GTPases Gchfr and Igtp; and the cell cycle-related gene Cdc7. Taken together, our results show the potential contributions of epigenomic changes in DNA CpG methylation to gene expression to molecular pathways active in TPA-induced JB6 cells and demonstrate that MIC-1 can reverse these changes, supporting the potential preventive/treatment effects of MIC-1 against skin carcinogenesis.
