Selective Toxicity Effect of Chrysaora quinquecirrha Crude Venom on Human Colorectal Tumor Cells by Directly Targeting Mitochondria.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveCompounds isolated from marine animals have different pharmacological effects. In this study, we investigated the effects of sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) crude venom on human colon cancer mitochondria.
methodsFirst, mitochondria were isolated from healthy colon tissue and cancerous colon tissue, and then mitochondrial function (SDH activity), reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) collapse, mitochondrial swelling, and cytochrome c release were measured.
resultsThe results showed that crude venom of Chrysaora quinquecirrha (180, 360 and 720 µg/ml) can significantly impair mitochondrial function (**P<0.01 and ***P<0.001) and consequently increase the level of ROS (*P<0.05 and ****P<0.0001), collapse in MMP (*P<0.05 and ****P<0.0001), mitochondrial swelling (**** P<0.0001) and release of cytochrome c (* P<0.05 and *** P<0.001) only in mitochondria isolated from human colon cancer tissue.
conclusionThe results concluded that crude venom of Chrysaora quinquecirrha (180, 360 and 720 µg/ml) has no side effects on normal mitochondria and only selectively affects cancerous mitochondria. It seems that after further research, Chrysaora quinquecirrha can be considered as a drug candidate for the treatment of patients with colon cancer.
