Role of antidiarrheal agents nifuroxazide in antitumor multi‑target anticancer, multi‑mechanism anticancer drug (Review).
Review in Oncology letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Nifuroxazide (NFZ) is an antimicrobial drug, which has been found to be a promising antitumor agent in recent years. In addition to being a classic STAT3 inhibitor, NFZ can also act on IL-6 and exert an anti-tumor role through inflammatory factor pathways. It can also bind to target proteins of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1, one of the families of E-twenty-six transcription factors and ubiquitin-specific protease 21 to play an anti-tumor role in different pathways. NFZ is able to act on the tumor cell microenvironment to inhibit tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell migration, enhance tumor immune cells, increase the cytotoxicity of tumor cells and enhance the anti-tumor effect of other drugs. Furthermore, it has high safety with few toxic side effects. The anti-tumor mechanisms of NFZ were described in the current review, aiming to provide insight and a reference for future studies promoting the implementation of NFZ as an anti-tumor drug in the clinic.
