Ruscogenin attenuated tight junction injury and tumor migration in colorectal liver metastasis mice via regulating TRAP1.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe effect of ruscogenin on the colorectal cancer is not clear yet. The study was applied to elucidate the mechanism of ruscogenin on colorectal cancer via regulating tumor necrosis factor receptor related protein 1 (TRAP1).
methodsHCT-116 cells were inoculated under the spleen capsule to establish the colorectal liver metastasis model. The group was divided into control, inoculation model, low dose (5 mg/kg), mediate dose (10 mg/kg), and high dose ruscogenin (20 mg/kg). The body and liver weight of the animals and tumor nodules were recorded. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assay were applied to indicate the alternation of tight junction, migration, and proliferation proteins.
resultsFollowing the inoculated with tumor cells, the mice in the inoculation group suffered from liver volume and weight decrease, as well as the increase of liver tumor volume (TV) and weight (TW). The administration of ruscogenin could obviously decrease body weight and increase liver weight in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, 5, 10, 20 mg/kg ruscogenin could reduce the acreage of tumor nodule on liver, while the high dose 20 mg/kg ruscogenin could minimize the growth of tumor nodule. The intervention of ruscogenin could relieve the decreased expression of claudin-5, occludin, and ZO-1. The administration of ruscogenin could relieve the aggravated tight junction injury by the overexpression of TRAP1, while 20 mg/kg ruscogenin could not alleviate the tight junction injury already defused by the TRAP1 antibody in the colorectal cancer mice.
conclusionsRuscogenin could attenuate the tight junction injury via suppressing TRAP1 in the colorectal cancer mice.
