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

aimTo study the effect of TNP-470 on cell growth, proliferation and apoptosis in human colon cancer xenografts in nude mice.

methodsHuman colon cancer xenografts were transplanted into 20 nude mice. Mice were randomly divided into two groups. TNP-470 treated group received TNP-470(30 mg/kg, s.c) every other day and the control group received a sham injection of same volume saline solution. They were sacrificed after 4 weeks and their tumors were processed for histological examination. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in tumors was detected using immunohistochemical method with image analysis, and apoptosis in tumor cells was measured by TdT-mediated biotinyated-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining.

resultsComparing with controls, tumor growth was significantly inhibited in TNP-470 treated group, the inhibitory rate being 54.4 %. Expression of PCNA in tumors of TNP-470 treated group (PI 54.32+/-11.47) was significantly lower than that of control group (PI 88.54+/-12.36), P<0.01. Apoptosis index (AI) of TNP-470 treated group (18.95+/-1.71) was significantly higher than that of control group (7.26+/-1.44), P<0.001, typical morphological change of apoptosis in tumor cells was observed in TNP-470 treated group.

conclusionBesides the anti-angiogenic effects, TNP-470 can inhibit tumor growth by inhibiting the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of tumor cells.
