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

Smac mimetics are potential anticancer therapeutics selectively killing cancer cells through autocrine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated apoptosis pathway. Our recent study reveal that the Smac mimetic compound 3 (SMC3)-activated NF-kappaB protects cancer cells against apoptosis, thus blunting SMC3's anticancer activity. Based on our previous observations that the nutrient flavonoid luteolin potently blocks TNF-induced NF-kappaB activation in cancer cells, we investigated if the combination of SMC3 and luteolin would achieve a synergistic anticancer activity. The results show that luteolin had no effect on autocrine TNF but it effectively blocked SMC3-induced nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation and expression of anti-apoptotic NF-kappaB targets. When SMC3 and luteolin were combined in treating cancer cells derived from lung and liver tumors, the activation of TNF-dependent apoptosis was markedly sensitized and a synergistic cytotoxic effect was achieved. In addition, the SMC3 and luteolin co-treatment had marginal effect on immortalized normal human bronchial epithelial cells. The results suggest that combination of SMC3 and luteolin is an effective approach for improving the anticancer value of SMC3, which has implications in cancer prevention and therapy.
