Evaluation of Anticarcinogenic and Cytotoxic Effects of COX-2 Specific Inhibitors on an Animal Model of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Isolated Mitochondria.

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
Background: Cancer is regarded as one of the most significant health concerns in the world. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignancy with high incidence and mortality rates and can lead to death. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is responsible for the development of various cancers, including HCC. Therefore, the use of COX-2 inhibitors can help in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Objectives: The present study aimed to synthesize and examine the effect of imidazolium [1,2-a] piperidinium (4cl-A) and benzo [d] imidazo [1,2-b] thiazolium (1-naphtyl-C) compounds as COX-2 inhibitors on the rat model of HCC. Methods: Animals were randomly assigned to control and HCC induction groups. The study duration was 15 weeks. The HCC was induced using DEN (200 mg/kg, ip) at a single dose and 2-AAF (dietary, 0.02% w/w, for 2 weeks). After 15 weeks, the investigation focused on mitochondrial toxicity parameters. One-way and two-way ANOVA statistical tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that 4cl-A and 1-naphtyl-C can reduce mitochondrial activity, increase the level of free radicals (ROS), collapse in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cause swelling of mitochondria, and release cytochrome c from HCC mitochondria. While this effect was not observed in healthy mitochondria. Conclusions: The results of the study indicate that these COX-2 inhibitors, along with selected drugs, can help in the treatment of HCC. However, more clinical studies should be conducted.
