3,3'-Diindolylmethane Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor characterized by high morbidity and invasion. Surgery combined with chemo-radiotherapy is the most common treatment for gastric cancer, while multiple drug resistance always results in treatment failure. Once the anti-tumor drugs enter the tumor foci, tumor cells as well as those found in the microenvironment are affected. However, the effects of drugs on tumor microenvironment (TME) are easily overlooked. In this study, we investigated the effects of the anti-cancer drug 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) on gastric cancer-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GC-MSCs) and their subsequent impact on cancer progression. Surprisingly, we found that the therapeutic concentration of DIM upregulated the expression level of tumor-related factors such as CCL-2, IL-6, and IL-8 in GC-MSCs. The conditioned medium of DIM-treated GC-MSCs promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of gastric cancer cells
