Garlicnin B1, an Active Cyclic Sulfide from Garlic, Exhibits Potent Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Tumor Activities.

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
This study aimed to investigate the pharmacological activities of garlicnin B1, a cyclic sulfide compound found abundantly in garlic and structurally similar to onionin A1, which has been shown to possess strong anti-tumor effects. In vitro studies demonstrated that garlicnin B1 significantly reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species triggered by hydrogen peroxide in colon cancer cells. In a mouse colitis model induced by dextran sulfate sodium, garlicnin B1 at a low dose (5 mg/kg) remarkably ameliorated the symptoms and pathological progression. Additionally, garlicnin B1 exhibited considerable tumoricidal activity with an IC50 value of ~20 μM, as observed in cytotoxicity assays. In vivo experiments using the mouse sarcoma S180 transplanted model and the azoxymethane (AOM) or DSS-induced colon cancer model showed that garlicnin B1 effectively suppressed tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner, with marked inhibition at 80 mg/kg. These results suggest that garlicnin B1 has diverse functions that could be achieved by carefully manipulating the dosing regimen. We anticipate that garlicnin B1 has the potential to be used beneficially in the future for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases, although further studies are warranted to elucidate its mechanisms of action.
