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

Introduction: This study investigated the suppressor effects of carrots depending on cultivation method on AOM/DSS-induced colon cancer in mice by examining cell apoptosis, inflammation response, and metabolites. Carrots grown using different fertilizers significantly suppressed tumor development by modulating cell apoptosis and inflammatory responses in our experimental settings. Methods and Results: Naturaldream Fertilizer Carrot (NFC) cultivated with deep sea water minerals (DSWM) showed effectively increased the expression of apoptosis-related genes and proteins including p53, p21, Bim, Bad, Bax, Bak, Caspase 9, and Caspase 3 in colon tissue, while inhibiting the production of inflammatory factors and related genes and proteins such as TNF-a, IL-1b, IL-6, IFN-g, NF-kB, and iNOS in serum, spleen cells, and liver tissues. Intestinal microbiota analysis revealed a distinct composition in mice receiving carrots compared to the control group, with accumulation of intestinal microorganisms such as Discussion and Conclusion: Overall, our results indicate that carrots, especially carrots grown with DSWM fertilizers, play a crucial role in inhibiting AOM/DSS-induced colon cancer in mice by regulating cell apoptosis and inflammation responses. The present findings provide valuable insights for further exploration of carrots depending on the cultivation method, as a potential dietary source against colon cancer.
