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

purposeUterine serous carcinoma (USC) is a highly aggressive and frequently recurring subtype of endometrial cancer with limited treatment options for advanced or recurrent stages. Sulindac, a classic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in several pre-clinical tumor models. This study aims to evaluate the effect of sulindac on cell proliferation and invasion in USC cells.

methodsHuman USC cell lines ARK-1 and SPEC2 were treated with different concentrations of sulindac. Cell proliferation was assessed using MTT and colony formation assays. ELISA assays measured cellular stress, cleaved caspase 3 activity, antioxidant ability, and adhesion. Cell cycle arrest was evaluated by Cellometer. The invasive capability was detected by wound healing assay. Western blotting was used to analyze the changes in protein expression induced by sulindac.

resultsExposure to sulindac decreased cellular viability in a dose-dependent manner in ARK-1 and SPEC2 cells. Sulindac effectively inhibited cell cycle progression, increased cellular stress, caused apoptosis, and reduced cell adhesion and invasion in USC cells. Additionally, sulindac decreased the expression of COX-2 and blocked phosphorylation of NF-κB induced by TNF-α.

conclusionSulindac is a potential therapeutic agent for USC that deserves further exploration in pre-clinical studies and potentially future clinical trials.
