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

Curcumin has been shown to have anticancer effects in a variety of tumors. However, there are fewer studies on the role of curcumin in endometrial carcinoma (EC). The purpose of this experiment was to examine the inhibitory effect of curcumin on endometrial carcinoma cells and ERK/c-Jun signaling pathway. We first predicted the mechanism of action of curcumin on endometrial carcinoma by network pharmacology. Then, we found that curcumin can decrease the cell viability of Ishikawa cells, inhibit the migration of cancer cells, induce apoptosis, and cause cell cycle arrest in the S phase. For molecular mechanism, curcumin reduced the mRNA expression levels of ERK2 and JUN genes and inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK and c-Jun. This suggests that curcumin inhibits the proliferation of endometrial carcinoma cells by downregulating ERK/c-Jun signaling pathway activity.
