Cancer Prevention and Treatment with Polyphenols: Type IV Collagenase-Mediated Mechanisms.
Review in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Polyphenols are natural compounds found in many plants and their products. Their high structural diversity bestows upon them a range of anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, proapoptotic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-metastatic properties, and a growing body of research indicates that a polyphenol-rich diet can inhibit cancer development in humans. Polyphenolic compounds may modulate the expression, secretion, or activity of compounds that play a significant role in carcinogenesis, including type IV collagenases, such as matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), by suppressing cellular signaling pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B. These enzymes are responsible for the degradation of the extracellular matrix, thus promoting the progression of cancer. This review discusses the current state of knowledge concerning the anti-cancer activity of polyphenols, particularly curcumin, resveratrol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, genistein, and quercetin, with a specific focus on their anti-invasive and anti-metastatic potential, based on the most recent in vitro and in vivo studies. It appears that polyphenols may be valuable options for the chemoprevention and treatment of cancer via the inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and the suppression of signaling pathways regulating their expression and activity.
