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

Previously, we designed a DNAzyme (beta1DE) targeting the human beta1 integrin subunit, which efficiently digested the mRNA of the beta1 integrin subunit and downregulated beta1 integrin expression in endothelial cells. This DNAzyme blocked the adhesion of endothelial cells and abolished their ability to form microcapillary tubes in Matrigel. In our present study, we demonstrate that beta1DE effectively inhibited neovascularization in Matrigel plugs (BALB/c mice, n=20) and solid human carcinoma tumors developed in nude mice (BALB/cA nude (nu-/-)-B6.Cg-Foxn1(nu)) (n=30) using prostate carcinoma cells PC-3 (n=15) and colon adenocarcinoma cells CX1.1 (n=15). When injected intratumorally, it significantly reduced the tumor size and number of microvessels developed by both CX1.1 and PC-3 cells within the 3 weeks of experiment duration. Thus, DNAzymes targeting beta1 integrin genes can inhibit multiple key tumorigenic processes in vitro and in vivo and may serve as useful anti-cancer agents.
