Phallus indusiatus Extracts Promoted MCF-7 Apoptosis Under TNFα-induced Tumor Microenvironment by Attenuating NF-kappaB and Akt Activation.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects of Phallus indusiatus extracts, particularly in modulating inflammatory microenvironments and sensitizing lapatinib-induced cytotoxicity in breast cancer cells.
methodsPhallus indusiatus (bamboo mushroom) extracts were prepared using water extraction from fresh and dried specimens. The anti-inflammatory effects were assessed using RAW246.7 cells by measuring NO production, while cytotoxicity and proliferation effects were evaluated in MCF-7 and MCF-10A breast cell lines. To mimic the inflammatory microenvironment of breast cancer, MCF-7 cells were treated with TNFα to induce lapatinib resistance. The effects of the extracts on cell viability, apoptosis, and NF-kappaB signaling were evaluated under inflammatory microenvironment-mimicking conditions. Co-treatment with lapatinib and the extracts was analyzed for synergistic cytotoxic effects and pathway modulation.
resultsP. indusiatus extracts demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects by reducing NO production in RAW246.7 cells. The extracts showed no cytotoxicity on MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells, with an observed proliferation increase in MCF-10A but not MCF-7. Under inflammatory microenvironment-mimicking conditions induced by TNFα, the extracts slightly reduced MCF-7 cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, the extracts sensitized lapatinib-induced cytotoxicity by increasing apoptotic cell populations. Mechanistically, co-treatment with the extracts attenuated AKT and NF-kappaB activation in a dose-dependent manner.
conclusionThese findings highlight the potential of P. indusiatus extracts as supplementary food for breast cancer patients, particularly in inflammatory microenvironment conditions.
