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

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies in women and female dogs. Nature offers a plethora of nontoxic medicinal compounds that could be an excellent source of antineoplastic molecules for breast cancer prevention. Due to the closeness of human and rat mammary tumors, one of the best models to study breast cancer is in rats. Accordingly, this study investigated the chemoprophylactic potential of polyphenol-60 (PO-60) from green tea on the mammary tumorigenesis model using female Sprague-Dawley rats. Forty 30-day-old female rats were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 10/group): Group 1 received N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) intraperitoneally (i.p.), Group 2 received MNU i.p. and 0.5% PO-60 in drinking water, Group 3 received saline i.p. and PO-60, and Group 4 received saline i.p. only. Eventually, rats were subjected to necropsy, histopathology, blood biochemical analysis, and assessment of antioxidative status in liver and mammary tissues. The chronic daily ingestion for 298 days of PO-60 in the MNU-induced mammary tumorigenesis model did not interfere with mammary tumor occurrence and evolution. Still, a decline in GPx and SOD levels in the MNU-inoculated animals (G1/G2 vs. G4) was observed. Catalase activity increased in all groups, except for liver from the individuals inoculated with MNU (G1).
