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

Stat1 is deficient or inactive in many types of human tumors whereas some tumors have activated Stat1. Whether Stat1 affects tumor growth and metastasis is unclear. In the present study, we used Stat1 knockout tumor cells to determine (1) whether Stat1 can regulate angiogenesis, growth, and metastasis of tumor cells; and (2) whether Stat1 is required for the inhibitory effect of IFN-beta on the expression of angiogenic factor bFGF. Highly tumorigenic and metastatic RAD-105 tumor cells derived from a fibrosarcoma of a Stat1 knockout mouse were reconstituted with a Stat1 expression vector. The reconstitution of Stat1 suppressed the tumorigenicity and metastasis of RAD-105 cells in nude mice which correlated with a decreased microvessel density and decreased expression of proangiogenic molecules bFGF, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in vivo. Moreover, noncytotoxic concentrations of IFN-beta significantly inhibited the in vitro expression of bFGF in the Stat1-reconstituted cells but not in the Stat1-deficient cells, which was consistent with decreased bFGF expression of Stat1-reconstituted tumors in vivo. Therefore, Stat1 is essential for IFN-mediated inhibition of bFGF production, suggesting that tumor-intrinsic Stat1 is an important mediator for antiangiogenic signals, such as IFN. Collectively, these data demonstrate that Stat1 expressed by tumor cells is a negative regulator of tumor angiogenesis and, hence, tumor growth and metastasis.
