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 (IFN) regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is a transcription factor that has apoptotic anti-tumor activity. In breast cancer cell types, IRF-1 is implicated in mediating apoptosis by both novel and established anti-tumor agents, including the anti-estrogens tamoxifen and faslodex. Here we demonstrate that in MDA468 breast cancer cells, apoptosis by IFN-gamma is mediated by IRF-1 and IFN-gamma, and IRF-1-induced apoptosis is caspase-mediated. IRF-1 induction results in cleavage of caspase-8, -3 and -7, and application of caspase inhibitors attenuate activated cleavage products. IRF-1-induced apoptosis involves caspase-8 since apoptosis is significantly decreased by the caspase-8-specific inhibitor IETD, c-FLIP expression and in caspase-8-deficient cancer cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that IRF-1-induced apoptosis requires fas-associated death domain (FADD) since dominant-negative FADD expressing cells resist IRF-1-induced apoptosis and activated downstream products. Immunofluorescent studies demonstrate perinuclear colocalization of FADD and caspase-8. Despite the known role of FADD in mediating death-ligand induced apoptosis, neutralizing antibodies against classical death receptors do not inhibit IRF-1 induced apoptosis, and no secreted ligand appears to be involved since MDA468 coincubated with IRF-1 transfected cells do not apoptose. Therefore, we demonstrate that IRF-1 induces a ligand-independent FADD/caspase-8-mediated apoptosis in breast cancer cells.
