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

Breast cancer is one of the most common causes of death in women worldwide and has harmful influence on their psychological state during therapy. Multikinase inhibitors have become effective drugs for treating a variety of cancer diseases such as breast cancer. A purified short peptide (H-P) was isolated from the natural honey and tested for its potential regulatory role in breast cancer cells compared with the effectiveness of the anticancer drug, Sorafenib (SOR), using MCF-7, EFM-19, and MCF-10A cell lines. Furthermore, we investigated the direct connection between Raf-1 activation and cellular autophagy as potential targets of SOR and H-P extract using RNA interference. Interestingly, the treatment with H-P showed competitive regulation of phosphorylated Raf-1, MEK1/2, and matched autophagy-related LC3B without any detectable toxic effects in the non-tumorigenic epithelial cells. Unlike SOR, the regulation of Raf-1 protein and autophagic machinery by the novel H-P extract showed neglected levels of the released proinflammatory cytokine. This regulation of cytokine secretion by H-P resulted in decreasing the expression level of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) in treated cells. Moreover, the transfection of MCF-7 cells with small interference RNA (siRNA) antagonist Raf-1 expression markedly reduced the expression of LC3B, while it increased the expression of NF-kB1 and NF-kB2, indicating the potential cross-link between Raf-1, autophagy, and NF-kB effector. Collectively, these findings suggest that H-P-mediated Raf-1, MEK1/2, LC3B, and NF-kB provide a novel and efficacious multikinase inhibitor for treating breast cancer without detectable cytotoxic effects.
