Encapsulation of soybean lunasin and amaranth unsaponifiable matter in liposomes induces cell cycle arrest in an allograft melanoma mouse model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and can metastasize during primary tumor formation. This research aimed to determine the relationship between the prevention of melanoma development in a mouse model treated with liposomes loaded with soybean lunasin and amaranth unsaponifiable matter (UM + LunLip) and cell cycle arrest. Tumors excised from C57BL/6 mice treated topically or subcutaneously with UM + LunLip were subjected to immunohistochemistry. Markers related to cell cycle inhibition (p16, p21, p27, and p53) and markers involved in cell cycle progression (cyclin-dependent kinase, CDK6, and cyclin D1) were assessed. The results showed that UM + LunLip had antitumor activity in C57BL/6 mice treated either topically or subcutaneously by p16, p21, p27, and p53 overexpression (up to 572-, 134-, 30-, and 57-fold change, FC, respectively) in the tumors of mice treated with 30 mg UM + LunLip/kg body weight compared with the tumor-bearing untreated control. However, CDK6 and cyclin D1 expression was not inhibited (up to 1.37 FC and 2.09 FC, respectively), which is a typical behavior of cyclin D in melanoma. Therefore, melanoma tumor development was prevented by the overexpression of cell cycle inhibitors p16, p21, p27, and p53 due to UM + LunLip treatments. Since the topical application was effective, less invasive, and more practical for the user, this application will be recommended for future steps in in vivo studies.
