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

Hematological cancers include leukemia, myeloma and lymphoma and up to 178.000 new cases are diagnosed with these tumors each year. Different kinds of treatment including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and stem cell transplantation have been employed in the therapy of hematological cancers. However, they are still causing death among patients. On the other hand, curcumin as an anti-cancer agent for the suppression of human cancers has been introduced. The treatment of hematological cancers using curcumin has been followed. Curcumin diminishes viability and survival rate of leukemia, myeloma and lymphoma cells. Curcumin stimulates apoptosis and G2/M arrest to impair progression of tumor. Curcumin decreases levels of matrix metalloproteinases in suppressing cancer metastasis. A number of downstream targets including VEGF, Akt and STAT3 undergo suppression by curcumin in suppressing progression of hematological cancers. Curcumin stimulates DNA damage and reduces resistance of cancer cells to irradiation. Furthermore, curcumin causes drug sensitivity of hematological tumors, especially myeloma. For targeted delivery of curcumin and improving its pharmacokinetic and anti-cancer features, nanostructures containing curcumin and other anti-cancer agents have been developed.
