Interplay of Cellular Nrf2/NF-κB Signalling after Plasma Stimulation of Malignant vs. Non-Malignant Dermal Cells.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Skin cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Cold atmospheric pressure Plasma (CAP) is increasingly successful in skin cancer therapy, but further research is needed to understand its selective effects on cancer cells at the molecular level. In this study, A431 (squamous cell carcinoma) and HaCaT (non-malignant) cells cultured under identical conditions revealed similar ROS levels but significantly higher antioxidant levels in unstimulated A431 cells, indicating a higher metabolic turnover typical of tumour cells. HaCaT cells, in contrast, showed increased antioxidant levels upon CAP stimulation, reflecting a robust redox adaptation. Specifically, proteins involved in antioxidant pathways, including NF-κB, IκBα, Nrf2, Keap1, IKK, and pIKK, were quantified, and their translocation level upon stimulation was evaluated. CAP treatment significantly elevated Nrf2 nuclear translocation in non-malignant HaCaT cells, indicating a strong protection against oxidative stress, while selectively inducing NF-κB activation in A431 cells, potentially leading to apoptosis.
