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

Fenretinide, a synthetic retinoid, is known to induce apoptosis in various cancer cells. However, the mechanism by which fenretinide induces apoptosis remains unclear. The current study examines the mechanisms of fenretinide-induced apoptosis in human hepatoma cells. The induction of Nur77 and the cytoplasmic distribution of Nur77 induced by fenretinide were positively correlated with the apoptotic effect of fenretinide in HCC cells. The sensitivity of Huh-7 cells was related to Nur77 translocation and targeting mitochondria, whereas the mechanism of resistance for HepG2 cells seemed due to Nur77 accumulating in the nucleus. The intracellular location of Nur77 was also associated with the differential capability of fenretinide-induced ROS generation in these two cell lines. In addition, the knockdown of Nur77 expression by siRNA greatly reduced fenretinide-induced apoptosis and cleaved caspase 3 in Huh-7 cells. Therefore, our findings demonstrate that fenretinide-induced apoptosis of HCC cells is Nur77 dependent and that the intracellular localization of Nur77 dictates the sensitivity of the HCC cells to fenretinide-induced apoptosis.
