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 investigate whether the recombinant adenovirus induces the TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis in vivo.

methodsHuman hepatocarcinoma cell line (HepG(2)) cells were transfected into BALB/c nude mice, and the tumor growth curve was drawn. We analyzed apoptosis in HepG(2) cells by TUNEL, HE staining and electron microscopy.

resultsAdIkappaBalphaM was expressed stably and efficiently in HepG(2) and could not be degraded by induction of TNF-alpha. Tumor growth in mice could be reduced remarkably if treated by AdIkappaBalphaM plus TNF-alpha. There was apoptosis of > 70% of cells treated with AdIkappaBalphaM plus TNF-alpha and about 50% of cells treated with AdIkappaBalphaM. In contrast, there was few cell apoptosis in HepG(2) cells treated with phosphate buffered saline and AdIkappaBalpha. HepG(2) cells in mice also exhibited a high level of apoptosis after in vivo injection with AdIkappaBalphaM. The tumor growth curve indicated the tumor transfected with AdIkappaBalphaM could be restrained.

conclusionAdIkappaBalphaM gene therapy greatly enhances apoptosis due to inhibition of an NF-kappaB-mediated antiapoptosis signaling pathway.
