Curcumin-induced antitumor effects on triple-negative breast cancer patient-derived xenograft tumor mice through inhibiting salt-induced kinase-3 protein.
Article in Journal of food and drug analysis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study demonstrated for the first time that curcumin effectively inhibits the growth of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumors by inhibiting the expression of salt-induced kinase-3 (SIK3) protein in patient-derived xenografted tumor mice (TNBC-PDX). For TNBC patients, chemotherapy is the only option for postoperative adjuvant treatment. In this study, we detected the SIK3 mRNA expression in paired-breast cancer tissues by qPCR analysis. The results revealed that SIK3 mRNA expression was significantly higher in tumor tissues when compared to the normal adjacent tissues (73.25 times, n = 183). Thus, it is proposed for the first time that the antitumor effect induced by curcumin by targeting SIK3 can be used as a novel strategy for the therapy of TNBC tumors. In vitro mechanism studies have shown that curcumin (>25 μM) inhibits the SIK3-mediated cyclin D upregulation, thereby inhibiting the G1/S cell cycle and arresting TNBC (MDA-MB-231) cancer cell growth. The SIK3 overexpression was associated with increased mesenchymal markers (i.e., Vimentin, α-SMA, MMP3, and Twist) during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Our results demonstrated that curcumin inhibits the SIK3-mediated EMT, effectively attenuating the tumor migration. For clinical indications, dietary nutrients (such as curcumin) as an adjuvant to chemotherapy should be helpful to TNBC patients because the current trend is to shrink the tumor with preoperative chemotherapy and then perform surgery. In addition, from the perspective of chemoprevention, curcumin has excellent clinical application value.
