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

Human melanoma cells growth arrest irreversibly, lose tumorigenic potential and terminally differentiate after treatment with a combination of fibroblast interferon (IFN-beta) and the protein kinase C activator mezerein (MEZ). Applying subtraction hybridization to this model differentiation system permitted cloning of melanoma differentiation associated gene-7, mda-7. Expression of mda-7 inversely correlates with melanoma development and progression, with elevated expression in normal melanocytes and nevi and increasingly reduced expression in radial growth phase, vertical growth phase and metastatic melanoma. When expressed by means of a replication incompetent adenovirus (Ad.mda-7) growth of melanoma, but not normal early passage or immortal human melanocytes, is dramatically suppressed and cells undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). Infection of metastatic melanoma cells with Ad.mda-7 results in an increase in cells in the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle and changes in the ratio of pro-apoptotic (BAX, BAK) to anti-apoptotic (BCL-2, BCL-XL) proteins. Ad.mda-7 infection results in a temporal increase in mda-7 mRNA and intracellular MDA-7 protein in most of the melanocyte/melanoma cell lines and secretion of MDA-7 protein is readily detected following Ad.mda-7 infection of both melanocytes and melanoma cells. The present studies document a differential response of melanocytes versus melanoma cells to ectopic expression of mda-7 and support future applications of mda-7 for the gene-based therapy of metastatic melanoma.
