Plumbagin binds to epidermal growth factor receptor and mitigate the effects of epidermal growth factor micro-environment in PANC-1 cells.
Article in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A sustained increase in the mortality of pancreatic cancer (PC) and sudden metastasis-related mortality is a cause for concern. Aberrant expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) is noted in several cases of PC metastasis. The present study is aimed at analyzing the expression of EGFR in PC and its relevance to the progression of PC. Despite the number of studies that have shown the benefits of plumbagin on PC cells, its role on cancer stem cells remains largely unknown. To this end, the study used an EGF micro-environment to make cancer stem cells in vitro and ascertained the role of plumbagin in mitigating the actions of EGF. The kaplan-meier (KM) plot indicated reduced overall survival (OS) analysis in PC patients with high EGFR than low EGFR expression. Plumbagin pre-treatment significantly prevented EGF-induced survival, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), clonogenesis, migration, matrix metalloproteinase -2 (MMP-2) gene expression and its secretion, and matrix protein hyaluron production in PANC-1 cells. The computational studies indicate the greater affinity of plumbagin with different domains of EGFR than gefitinib. Several hallmarks of resistance and migration due to EGF are effectively attenuated by plumbagin. Collectively, these results warrant investigating the actions of plumbagin in a pre-clinical study to substantiate these findings.
