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

PDT, a new therapeutic procedure for the management of many malignant conditions including skin cancer, involves the administration of a photosensitizing compound followed by illumination of the lesion with visible light. We earlier showed an involvement of: (i) WAF1/p21-cyclins (D1 and E)-cdk (2 and 6) network; and (ii) Rb/E2F-DP machinery during silicon phthalocyanine (Pc4)-PDT-mediated cell cycle dysregulation and apoptosis of human epidermoid carcinoma (A431) cells. Here, we investigated the involvement of EGFR-pathway during antiproliferative responses of Pc4-PDT in A431 cells and during ablation of murine skin papillomas. Pc4-PDT of A431 cells was found to result in a time-dependent down-modulation of the protein expression and phosphorylation of EGFR and Shc (an immediate downstream molecule in EGFR-pathway), during progressive increase in apoptotic response. To establish the relevance of these in vitro findings to in vivo situations, we subjected chemically- as well as ultraviolet B radiation-induced squamous papillomas in SENCAR and SKH-1 hairless mice, respectively, to Pc4-PDT, and assessed its effect on EGFR-pathway during ablation of these tumors. Pc4-PDT was found to result in a time-dependent: (i) inhibition of protein expressions of EGFR; and (ii) tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR and Shc; and (iii) induction of apoptosis, during the regression of these tumors. These data suggest the involvement of EGFR-pathway during the antiproliferative effects of PDT. It is tempting to speculate that inhibitors of EGFR could enhance the therapeutic efficacy of PDT.
