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 the synergistic effect of oxymatrine (OM) and angiogenesis inhibitor NM-3 on modulating apoptosis in human gastric cancer cell lines SGC-7901, MKN-45, MKN-74.

methodsHuman gastric cancer lines SGC-7901, MKN-45, MKN-74 were treated with OM in the absence and presence of NM-3. The inhibitory rates were detected by MTT assay. Synergistic effect of OM and NM-3 on the growth of survivin, bcl-2, bax and p53 in SGC-7901 cells were examined by semiquantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting, and their growth inhibitory effects were also observed on SGC-7901 tumor xenograft in nude mice.

resultsOM combined with NM-3 exhibited a synergistic inhibitory effect on the growth of SGC-7901, MKN-45 and MKN-74 cells in a time-dependent manner. Twenty-four hours after treatment with OM, NM-3 alone and their combination, mRNA expression of survivin and bcl-2 in SGC-7901 cells decreased, p53 mRNA expression increased. OM (4 g/L) combined with NM-3 significantly increased the expression of p53 mRNA and decreased the expression of survivin and bcl-2 compared with either agent alone (193% +/- 34% vs 129% +/- 12%; 44% +/- 18% vs 92% +/- 18%; 36 +/- 17% vs 93% +/- 23%, P < 0.05). Western blotting showed that the synergistic effect of OM and NM-3 on protein translation of survivin, bcl-2 and p53 was in accordance with their mRNAs. Furthermore, OM/NM-3 combination obviously exhibited antitumor growth effect in xenografted human gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 compared with either agent alone.

conclusionOM combined with NM-3 has synergistic inhibitory effects on human gastric cancer cells in vitro and can suppress the growth of xenografted human gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 in vivo.
