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

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a cytoprotective enzyme, can be induced in tumors in response to anti-cancer therapies. We investigated the role of HO-1 in B16(F10), S91, and Sk-mel188 melanoma cells. Overexpression of HO-1 after transduction with adenoviral vectors increased cell proliferation, resistance to oxidative stress generated by H2O2, and angiogenic potential as determined by induction of endothelial cell divisions. Likewise, cells stably transfected with HO-1 cDNA (B16-HO-1) showed higher proliferation, stress resistance, and angiogenic activity than the wild-type line (B16-WT). HO-1 overexpression in tumors significantly shortened survival of mice after subcutaneous injection of cancer cells (38 and 22 days for B16-WT and B16-HO-1, respectively; P=0.017). This also resulted in development of more packed tumors, with more melanoma cells, and reduced inflammatory edemas. Mice injected with B16-HO-1 had lower levels of tumor necrosis factor and higher serum concentrations of its soluble receptor tumor necrosis factor-RI, whereas tumors overexpressing HO-1 displayed augmented vascularization and stronger production of vascular endothelial growth factor. Finally, B16-HO-1 cells injected intravenously formed more metastases in lungs. Thus, HO-1 overexpression increased viability, proliferation, and angiogenic potential of melanoma cells, augmented metastasis, and decreased survival of tumor-bearing mice, suggesting that induction of HO-1 may be detrimental in anti-cancer therapy of melanoma.
