Brusatol Inhibits Proliferation and Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer by Targeting and Reversing the RhoA/ROCK1 Pathway.
Article in BioMed research international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 7 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
Brusatol (BRU) is an important compound extracted from Brucea javanica oil, whose pharmacological effects are able to induce a series of biological effects, including inhibition of tumor cell growth, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antitumor. Currently, there are so few studies about the brusatol effects on colorectal cancer that its anticancer mechanism has not been clearly defined. In this study, we made an in-depth investigation into the brusatol effect towards the proliferation and metastasis of colon cancer and the possible mechanism. The inhibitory effect of BRU on the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells was unveiled via CCK-8 method and colony formation assay, while the inhibitory effect of BRU on migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells was revealed by scratch assay and transwell assay. In addition, Western blot results also revealed that BRU inhibited not only the expressions of RhoA and ROCK1 but also the protein expressions of EMT-related markers e-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, MMP2, and MMP9 in colon cancer cells. Through the xenotransplantation model, our in vivo experiment further verified the antitumor effect of BRU on colon cancer cells in vitro, and the results were consistent with the protein expression trend. In conclusion, BRU may inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of colorectal cancer by influencing EMT through RhoA/ROCK1 pathway.
