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

Background and aim: Experimental procedure: Cytotoxicity of ASEE was tested on MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and Normal Vero cells. The ROS production, apoptosis, MMP, and cell cycle study were conducted utilizing flow cytometer, and western blot was also performed for protein expression analysis. ASEE was phytochemi Results: The HPLC method identified two active organosulfur chemicals, allicin and alliin, in ASEE. MTT test revealed significant (p < 0.05) inhibition of breast cancer cells proliferation. The inhibitory effect of ASEE was more pronounced in MDA-MB-231 cells than in MCF-7 cells, however, no substantial cytotoxicity was seen in normal Vero cells. TNBC cells treated with high concentrations of ASEE were found in the late apoptotic stage and exhibited an increase in ROS level and a reduction in MMP. ASEE exposure increased the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase. ASEE upregulated the p53 and Bax proteins while downregulated the Bcl-2, p-Akt, and p-p38 proteins. Allicin and alliin compounds had strong binding affinity with targeted proteins of breast cancer, and both compounds also showed good pharmacokinetics and druglikeness properties. Conclusion: ASEE could be useful in the treatment of human triple-negative breast cancer without any safety risks.
