2-Pyridin-4-yl-methylene-beta-boswellic Acid-A Potential Candidate for Targeting O
Article in ACS pharmacology & translational science, 2022. 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
PMBA (2-Pyridin-4-yl-methylene-beta-boswellic acid), screened from among the 21 novel series of semisynthetic analogues of β-boswellic acid, is being presented as a lead compound for integrative management of KRAS mutant colorectal cancer (CRC), upon testing and analysis for its anticancerous activity on a panel of NCI-60 cancer cell lines and in vivo models of the disease. PMBA (1.7-29 μM) exhibited potent proliferation inhibition on the cell lines and showed sensitivity in microsatellite instability and microsatellite stable (GSE39582 and GSE92921) subsets of KRAS gene (Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog)-mutated colon cell lines, as revealed via flow cytometry analysis. A considerable decrease in mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway downstream effectors was observed in the treated cell lines via the western blot and STRING (Search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes/proteins) analysis. PMBA was further found to target KRAS at its guanosine diphosphate site. Treatment of the cell lines with PMBA showed significant reduction in MGMT promoter methylation but restored MGMT (O
