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

R-94138, a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, was examined for the ability to prevent peritoneal dissemination of a human gastric cancer xenograft, TMK-1. When the supernatant of a co-culture of TMK-1 cells and human normal fibroblast cells was subjected to gelatin zymography, it was clear that the protein expression of MMP-2 had been inhibited by R-94138. When TMK-1 was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) into nude mice at 5 x 10(5) cells/body, the resulting peritoneal dissemination mimicked clinical carcinomatous peritonitis. When the maximum tolerated dose of mitomycin C (MMC) or cisplatin (DDP) was given 12 h after the tumor inoculation, peritoneal dissemination was completely inhibited, while the effect of R-94138 was limited when it was given i.p. at a dose of 20 mg/kg in a schedule of q.d. x 5 starting 12 h after tumor injection. MMC and DDP also suppressed peritoneal dissemination when they were administered 1 week after the tumor inoculation at a single dose of 2 and 3 mg/kg i.p., respectively. R-94138 inhibited peritoneal dissemination when it was administered i.p. at a dose of 30 mg/kg in a schedule of q.d. x 5 starting from 1 week after tumor injection. The combination of MMC and R-94138 increased the preventive effect on peritoneal dissemination. R-94138 seems to be a promising candidate to prevent peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer.
