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

Dysregulation of apoptosis is a pilot event before cancer development and plays important roles for cancer to develop resistance to chemical therapeutics. So exploring strategies to recovery the apoptosis balance is a charming and long-endeavored aim in the attempts to conquer cancers. The present study shows an exciting potency of a fusion peptide to inhibit and target to cancer cells, which is composed of BH3 (Bcl-2 Homology 3) effector domain from PUMA (p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis) and targeting domain of trans-activator of transcription (TAT) and DV3. The in vitro results demonstrated cancer growth inhibition by the fusion peptide in colon cancer cells, as well as in lung adenocarcinoma cell line and breast carcinoma cell line of human origin. But the viability of HEK293, a noncancerous cell line, was not affected, indicating the cancer specificity of the fusion peptide. Apoptosis activation was induced by the peptide through the mitochondria pathway. In vivo studies displayed its tumor inhibiting ability by intratumoral injection. When the fusion peptide was administered systematically by tail vein, the peptide targeted the established tumors in nude mice. No other organs were significantly involved. The fusion peptide is an artificially designed molecule worthy of further evaluation and development.
