Arctiin Inhibits Inflammation, Fibrosis, and Tumor Cell Migration in Rats With Ehrlich Solid Carcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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 AND
objectivesESC or Ehrlich solid carcinoma is a type of tumor originating from a spontaneous mammary adenocarcinoma in mice. It is a highly aggressive and fast-growing carcinoma that can create a solid mass when inserted under the skin. Its solid, undifferentiated form makes it an ideal model for researching cancer biology, tumor immunology, and testing various anti-cancer treatments. Additionally, arctiin has multiple beneficial properties, such as anti-proliferative, anti-oxidative, anti-adipogenic, and anti-bacterial. This study aimed to explore the potential anti-cancer benefits of arctiin in rats with ESC while also analyzing its effects on cell fibrosis markers, tumor cell migration, and inflammasome pathways.
methodsRats were given a tumor in their left hind limb via an intramuscular injection consisting of 2×10
resultsWhen ESC rats were given arctiin as a treatment, their mean survival time increased and their tumor volume and weight decreased. Additionally, when tumor tissue was examined under an electron microscope, it showed signs of pleomorphic cells, necrosis, nuclear fragmentation, membrane damage with cytoplasmic content spilling, and loss of cellular junction. The stained sections with hematoxylin/eosin showed a dense cellular mass and compressed, degenerated, and atrophied muscle. However, treatment with arctiin improved all these effects. Finally, the expression of TLR4, NLRP3, STAT3, TGF-β, VEGF, and cyclin D1 was significantly reduced with arctiin treatment.
conclusionsThrough the use of arctiin, tumor size and weight were effectively reduced, leading to an increase in the average survival time of rats and an improvement in muscle structure. Additional research has shown that arctiin is able to suppress inflammation, fibrosis, and the migration of tumor cells by inhibiting STAT3, TGF-β1, TLR4, NLRP3, VEGF, and cyclin D1.
