1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAlthough sulforaphene has potential anticancer effects, little is known about its effect on oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) invasiveness.

methodsTo investigate whether sulforaphene inhibits the growth of oesophageal cancer cells, MTT and anchorage-independent cell growth assays were performed. Global changes in the proteome and phosphoproteome of oesophageal cancer cells after sulforaphene treatment were analysed by mass spectrometry (MS), and the underlying molecular mechanism was further verified by in vivo and in vitro experiments.

resultsSulforaphene treatment markedly affected proteins that regulate several cellular processes in oesophageal cancer cells, and mitogen- and stress-activated kinase 2 (MSK2) was the main genetic target of sulforaphene in reducing the growth of oesophageal cancer cells. Sulforaphene significantly suppressed ESCC cell proliferation in vitro and reduced the tumour size in an oesophageal patient-derived xenograft (PDX) SCID mouse model. Furthermore, the binding of sulforaphane to MSK2 in vitro was verified using a cellular thermal dhift assay, and the effect of MSK2 knockdown on the ESCC phenotype was observed using a shMSK2 model.

conclusionThe results showed that sulforaphene suppresses ESCC growth in both human oesophageal squamous cells and PDX mouse model by inhibiting MSK2 expression, implicating sulforaphene as a promising candidate for ESCC treatment.
