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

backgroundRecent

methodsHere, the impact of high salt on apoptosis, proliferation, cell cycle, adhesion, and migration of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells was studied using MTT, scratch, and clonogenic assays, as well as RT-PCR and flow cytometry. Gene expression was analyzed using Real-Time PCR and western blotting. The effect of high salt on global transcriptomics changes in MDA MB-231 cells was studied using RNA-sequencing analysis.

resultsFlow cytometry with Annexin V and CFSE revealed that high salt-induced dose-dependent apoptosis and inhibited proliferation. High salt-induced cell cycle arrest at the G1/S phase of the cell cycle. p-MDM2 is known to suppress p53, which plays a crucial role in regulating apoptosis and cell cycle arrest under cellular stress conditions. High salt treatment led to decreased p-MDM2 and increased p53 expression, suggesting that high salt induces apoptosis through p53 stabilization. decreased p-MDM2 and increased p53 expression. High salt also reduced migration and adhesion of cells in a dose-dependent manner suggesting its inhibitory effect on metastatic properties as evident from wound healing assay. RNA sequencing analysis revealed overexpression of tumor suppressor genes and genes associated with anti-tumor activity (PCDHGA11, EIF3CL, RAVER1, TNFSF15, RANBP3L) and under-expression of genes involved in cancer-promoting activity (MT1X, CLDN14, CSF-2).

conclusionOur results unequivocally demonstrate the anti-tumor efficacy of high salt against breast cancer cells, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment.
