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

The objective of the present study was to develop injectable solutions of curcumin (CUR) and resveratrol (RES) for intravenous administration as a strategy to increase their solubility and stability, as well as to evaluate their cytotoxic potential, individually and in combination, on human lung non-small adenocarcinoma cells (A549 cells) and non-tumoral cells isolated from normal human bronchial epithelium (BEAS cells) to establish possible synergistic effects and potential therapeutic alternatives for lung cancer. Using factorial experimental designs, the components of the injectable CUR and RES solutions were selected, and their hemolytic potential was evaluated by a static method. In addition, combinations of injectable CUR:RES solutions (25:75, 50:50 and 75:25) were prepared from the individual ones, and their stability under refrigeration conditions and cytotoxic potential on A549 and BEAS cells were evaluated. The stability of the injectable solutions of CUR, RES and their different combinations was maintained for 3 months, except for the 25:75 combination of CUR:RES. Furthermore, the cytotoxic potential of CUR and RES on tumoral cells (A549) and non-tumoral (BEAS) cells was evaluated, indicating a dose-dependent effect; the combination of CUR:RES 50:50 and the combination of CUR:RES 75:25 presented synergistic effects in reducing cell viability. This study suggests that injectable solutions of CUR, RES and their combination for intravenous administration could be potential viable candidates and should be evaluated for their efficacy in animal models of lung cancer to establish new possible treatments.
