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

objectTo observe the inhibitory effect of Hypoxia inducible factor-1 antisense oligonuclecotide on growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells and gene expression of HIF-1, in order to seek a new gene therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

methodsSix Hypoxia inducible factor-1 antisense oligonuclecotides with various concentrations (0.2 micromol/l, 0.4 micromol/l, and 0.8 micromol/l) were transformed into HepG2 cells by lipofectamine reagent. 72 h after transfection, MTS assay was used to detect cellular proliferation. In addition, Hypoxia inducible factor-1 antisense oligonuclecotide2 with various concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.0 micromol/l) were transformed into HepG2 cells. About 48 h after transfection, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay and Western Blot assay were employed to detect the expression of Hypoxia inducible factor-1 gene and the synthesis of Hypoxia inducible factor-1 protein respectively.

resultsHepG2 cell growth was inhibited by 6 Hypoxia inducible factor-1 antisense oligonuclecotides at various concentrations. Among them, Hypoxia inducible factor-1 antisense oligonuclecotide2 showed the most effective inhibition ability (P < 0.01), the inhibitory rate was 89.66% at the concentration of 1.0 micromol/l. About 48 h after transfection, Hypoxia inducible factor-1 mRNA expression was downregulated and Hypoxia inducible factor-1 protein synthesis was decreased by antisense oligonuclecotide2.

conclusionsThe hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation was inhibited by Hypoxia inducible factor-1 antisense oligonuclecotide. Moreover, the gene expression and protein synthesis of Hypoxia inducible factor-1 were reduced by Hypoxia inducible factor-1 antisense oligonuclecotide. The findings suggested that antisense technique targeting Hypoxia inducible factor-1 might be an effective gene therapy of human hepatocellular carcinoma.
