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

Natural products have long been a viable source of therapeutic agents, providing unique structures and mechanisms that may be beneficial for cancer treatment. Herein we first report on the anticancer activity OST-01, a natural product from Baccharis Coridifolia, on breast cancer cells, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). OST-01 significantly inhibited cell proliferation and oncogenic activities of TNBC cells in vitro. OST-01 also markedly inhibited TNBC tumor growth in vivo, with > 50% reduction in tumor size compared to vehicle control treatment in different in vivo models, i.e., cell line-derived (CDX), patient-derived (PDX), and mammary fat pad xenografts. Mechanistically, OST-01 induces ferroptosis by downregulating LRP8-regulated selenoproteins, i.e., GPX4. A shift from a basal-mesenchymal to a luminal-epithelial state of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) as supported by the downregulation of stemness (e.g., CD44) and mesenchymal (e.g., FN1 and vimentin) markers, along with the upregulation of differentiation markers (e.g., CD24) and luminal-epithelial markers (e.g., CK19), was also observed.
