Sodium Butyrate (NaB) and Sodium Propionate (NaP) Reduce Cyclin A2 Expression, Inducing Cell Cycle Arrest and Proliferation Inhibition of Different Breast Cancer Subtypes, Leading to Apoptosis.
Article in Biomedicines, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sodium butyrate (NaB) and sodium propionate (NaP) have recently garnered attention for their role in regulating inflammation and controlling signaling pathways of cell growth and apoptosis, potentially preventing cancer development. However, their therapeutic effect and the underlying mechanisms involved remain elusive in breast cancer. This study aims at investigating the anticancer role of NaB and NaP in different types of breast cancer by assessing their antiproliferative effect on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells (through an MTT assay), as well as their ability to alter the cell cycle and cyclin expression (using flow cytometry and RT-qPCR, respectively), and to promote apoptosis (using Annexin V-FITC conjugated and sub-G1 phase techniques). MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation was inhibited by NaB and NaP in a dose- and time-dependent manner with respective IC
