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

BACKGROUND/

aimFucoxanthinol (FxOH), a predominant metabolite from fucoxanthin (Fx), can exert potential anti-cancer effects in various cancers. However, limited data are available on the effect of FxOH or Fx on pancreatic cancer. The present study investigated the effect of FxOH on a cell line derived from pancreatic cancer tissue developed in Ptf1a MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing flow-cytometric, microarrays, and western blotting analyses, alterations in FxOH-induced apoptosis-related gene expression and protein levels were evaluated in a mice pancreatic cancer cell line, KMPC44.

resultsFxOH significantly arrested the cells at S phase along with suppression of many gene sets, such as cytokine- cytokine receptor interaction and cell adhesion molecule CAMS. Moreover, attenuated protein levels for cytokine receptors, adhesion, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B, and mitogen-activated protein kinase were observed.

conclusionFxOH may prevent pancreatic cancer development in a murine cancer model.
