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

backgroundTNBC is an aggressive metastatic cancer that poses considerable treatment challenges because of its acquired drug resistance towards the existing targeted and hormonal therapies. The epigenetic modulation including HDACs triggers the EMT in TNBC which produces a more aggressive tumor phenotype. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy cause severe side effects which make treatment complex and challenging. To avoid these serious side effects and boost the effectiveness of current anti-cancer medications, plant flavonoids have been investigated. AIM OF THE STUDY: The present investigation is aimed to understand the role of dietary flavonoid Gal in the modulation of epigenetic regulators such as HDACs and HATs and their impact on the reversal of the EMT process in TNBCs. METHODOLOGY: Here, we have examined the anti-TNBC potential of Gal alone and in combination with SAHA by performing series of in vitro cell culture assays such MTT, migration and invasion, cell cycle regulation, ROS generation & mitochondrial dysfunction, nuclear fragmentation & apoptosis induction etc. The expression profiles of epigenetic regulators, apoptosis regulating proteins, and EMT markers were analysed by performing transcriptomic and proteomic studies. The in vivo efficacy of Gal was studied using BALB/c mice xenograft model studies.

resultsAt IC

conclusionIn-vitro and In vivo studies confirmed Gal's potent anticancer efficacy and highlighted its potential as a promising therapeutic agent that possibly can be used with conventional chemotherapy against TNBC.
