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

backgroundBenzaldehyde (BA) is an aromatic aldehyde found in fruits that has been studied as a potential anticancer agent on the basis of its ability to inhibit transformation in mouse embryo cells and to suppress metastasis in mice.

methodsWe investigated the cytotoxic effects of BA on cancer cells, and probed its effects on intracellular signaling pathways. The anticancer effects of BA in vivo were studied by using a mouse orthotopic transplantation model of pancreatic cancer.

resultsBA inhibited the growth of osimertinib- or radiation-resistant cancer cells as well as the interaction between 14-3-3ζ and its client proteins. The interaction of 14-3-3ζ with the Ser

conclusionThe interaction between 14-3-3ζ and H3S28ph plays a key role in EMP and treatment resistance in cancer. The ability of BA to inhibit this and other interactions of 14-3-3ζ offers the potential to overcome treatment resistance and to suppress metastasis.
