Molecular Investigation of the Antitumor Effects of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors in Breast Cancer Cells.

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
The catalytic activity of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) has been linked to tumorigenesis due to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the resulting oxidative stress. MAO-A inhibition revealed a beneficial role in prostate and lung cancer treatment. This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of different monoamine oxidase A inhibitors (MAO-AIs) on the proliferation and progression of breast cancer cell lines. The cell viability assay was used to evaluate the antiproliferative and combined effects of MAO-AIs. Cell migration was evaluated using wound healing, invasion, and colony formation assays. The underlying mechanism of cell death was studied using flow cytometry. The real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the relative gene expression. Finally, MAO-A activity in breast cancer cells was evaluated using an MAO-A activity assay. According to the results, the examined MAO-AIs significantly inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. In breast cancer cells, the combination of anticancer drugs (doxorubicin or raloxifene) with MAO-AIs resulted in a synergistic effect. MAO-AIs significantly reduced wound closure and invasion ability in breast cancer cells. Also, MAO-AIs reduced the colony count and size of breast cancer cells. MAO-AIs resulted in significant proapoptotic activity in breast cancer cells. Finally, the MAO-AIs suppressed
