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

The tumor microenvironment affects tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. However, it is still not clear how stromal cells interact with the tumor cells. By using a cytokine array immunoblot assay, we showed that interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6, and RANTES (regulated upon activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted) proteins were up-regulated in GBM8401 glioma cells after coculture with human THP-1-derived macrophages. IL-8 is a chemokine with leukocyte chemotactic, tumorigenic, and proangiogenic properties. To evaluate the correlation of IL-8 expression with tumor-associated macrophages and angiogenesis, 43 glioma specimens were studied. The results showed that the IL-8 mRNA expression and microvessel count in glioma surgical specimens correlated positively with the density of tumor-associated macrophages. We further showed that IL-8 mRNA expression in GBM8401 cells increased dramatically, by 2(8)-2(10)-fold, after being cocultured with macrophages. This increase could also be induced by macrophage-conditioned medium, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-1alpha, and IL-1beta, and could be suppressed by anti-inflammatory agents including pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, pentoxifylline, or dexamethasone. These findings imply that macrophage infiltration may be the common feature shared by cancer and inflammation, and macrophages could play a role in promoting glioma growth and angiogenesis by inducing IL-8 expression in glioma cells via inflammatory stimuli or the nuclear factor kappa B pathway.
