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

objectiveNatural polyphenol Calebin A has been recently discovered as a novel derivate from turmeric with anti-cancer potential. Pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-β (lymphotoxin α) is a stimulant for cancer cell malignity via activation of NF-B pathway, also in colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we investigated the potential of Calebin A to suppress TNF-β-induced NF-B signalling in CRC. MATERIALS AND

methodsThree distinct CRC cell lines (HCT116, RKO, SW480) were treated in monolayer or 3-dimensional alginate culture with TNF-β, Calebin A, curcumin, BMS-345541, dithiothreitol (DTT) or antisense oligonucleotides-(ASO) against NF-B.

resultsCalebin A suppressed dose-dependent TNF-β-induced CRC cell vitality and proliferation in monolayer culture. Further, in alginate culture, Calebin A significantly suppressed TNF-β-enhanced colonosphere development, as well as invasion and colony formation of all three CRC cell lines investigated. Calebin A specifically blocked TNF-β-induced activation and nuclear translocation of p65-NF-B, similar to curcumin (natural NF-B inhibitor), BMS-345541 (specific IKK inhibitor) and ASO-NF-B. Moreover, Immunofluorescence and Immunoblotting showed that Calebin A, similar to curcumin or BMS-345541 suppressed TNF-β-induced activation and nuclear translocation of p65-NF-B and the transcription of NF-B-promoted biomarkers associated with proliferation, migration and apoptosis, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Those findings were potentiated by the specific treatment of extracted nuclei with DTT, which abrogated Calebin A-mediated nuclear p65-NF-B-inhibition and restored p65-NF-B-activity in the nucleus.

conclusionOverall, these results demonstrate, for the first time, that multitargeted Calebin A has an anti-cancer capability on TNF-β-induced malignities through inhibitory targeting of NF-B activation in the cytoplasm, as well as by suppressing the binding of p65-NF-B to DNA.
