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

Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is a nuclear transcription factor that mediates interferon and other cytokine effects and appears to have antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo in cancer cells. We have constructed a recombinant adenoviral vector (Ad-IRF-1) that infects mammary cells with high efficiency and results in high levels of functional IRF-1 protein in transfected cells. Overexpression of IRF-1 in two mouse breast cancer cell lines, C3-L5 and TS/A, resulted in apoptosis in these cell lines as assessed by Annexin V staining. The involvement of caspases was confirmed by significant inhibition of apoptosis by a caspase inhibitor, and by demonstration of caspase-3 activity, cleavage of caspase-3, and PARP cleavage. Interestingly, the growth of nonmalignant breast cell lines C127I and NMuMG did not appear to be inhibited by IRF-1 overexpression. Suppression of growth for breast cancer cell lines in vivo was demonstrated by both preinfection of breast cancer cells ex vivo and by intratumoral injection of Ad-IRF-1 into established tumors in their natural hosts. The mechanism of apoptosis may involve the transcriptional upregulation of bak, caspase-8, and caspase-7 expression. These data support the antitumor potential of IRF-1 and the use of agents that increase IRF-1 in breast cancer.
