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

We have previously shown that the curcumin derivative 3,5-bis(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene)-1-methylpiperidine-4-one (RL71), when encapsulated in styrene maleic acid micelles (SMA-RL71), significantly suppressed the growth of MDA-MB-231 xenografts by 67%. Univariate statistical analysis showed that pEGFR/EGFR, pAkt/Akt, pmTOR/mTOR and p4EBP1/4EPBP1 were all significantly decreased in tumors from treated mice compared to SMA controls. In this study, multivariate statistical analyses (MVAs) were performed to identify the molecular networks that worked together to drive tumor suppression, with the aim to determine if this analysis could also be used to predict treatment outcome. Linear discriminant analysis correctly predicted, to 100% certainty, mice that received SMA-RL71 treatment. Additionally, results from multiple linear regression showed that the expression of Ki67, PKC-α, PP2AA-α, PP2AA-β and CaD1 networked together to drive tumor growth suppression. Overall, the MVAs provided evidence for a molecular network of signaling proteins that drives tumor suppression in response to SMA-RL71 treatment, which should be explored further in animal studies of cancer.
