Oxidative Stress and Cancer: Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Curcumin and Analogues Against Cancer.
Article in European journal of biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a class of bioactive molecules that are the by-products of many cellular functions. These molecules are present in normal cells at homeostatic levels but have been studied extensively in cancer due to their dysregulation resulting in pro- and anti-tumorigenic environments. Completely understanding the paradoxical nature of ROS in cancer is imperative to fully realize its modulation as cancer therapy. Studies into ROS have shown far-reaching effects in cancer, including how ROS levels regulate signaling, response to treatment, drug resistance, etc. Many drugs were studied with the hopes of regulating the ROS levels in cancer; however, patient response varied. Plant-derived medications offered new avenues of drug treatment over the last few decades, and the phytochemical Curcumin gained ground as an interesting cancer therapeutic. Curcumin is an active phenolic compound used in traditional medicine around the world. Although it suffers from a poor pharmacokinetic profile, Curcumin exerts anti-tumorigenic, as well as ROS-modulating activities. Analogs and derivatives of Curcumin are under development to improve upon its anti-cancer properties and enhance its bioavailability, currently a major limitation of its usage. This review highlights ROS function in cancer treatment focused on ROS, including Curcumin and its analogs.
