The Effect of 4'-hydroxy-3,4,5-trimetoxystilbene, the Metabolite of Resveratrol Analogue DMU-212, on Growth, Cell Cycle and Apoptosis in DLD-1 and LOVO Colon Cancer Cell Lines.
Article in Nutrients, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Resveratrol is a phytoalexin that naturally occurs in grapes, blueberries, cranberries, peanuts and many other plants. Although resveratrol inhibits carcinogenesis in all three stages, its clinical application is restricted due to poor pharmacokinetics. The methylated analogues of resveratrol have been found to have higher bioavailability and cytotoxic activity than that of the prototupe compound. Among the various methoxy derivatives of resveratrol, 3,4,5,4'-tetrametoxystilbene (DMU-212) is suggested to be one of the strongest activators of cytotoxicity and apoptosis. DMU-212 has been shown to exert anti-tumor activity in DLD-1 and LOVO colon cancer cells. Since colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, the development of new anticancer agents is nowadays of high significance. The aim of the present study was to assess the anticancer activity of 4'-hydroxy-3,4,5-trimetoxystilbene (DMU-281), the metabolite of DMU-212, in DLD-1 and LOVO cell lines. We showed for the first time the cytotoxic activity of DMU-281 triggered via cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and apoptosis induction accompanied by the activation of caspases-9, -8, -3/7. Furthermore, DMU-281 has been found to change the expression pattern of genes and proteins related to intrinsic as well as extrinsic apoptosis. Since the activation of these pathways of apoptosis is still the most desired strategy in anticancer research, DMU-281 seems to provide a promising approach to the treatment of colon cancer.
