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

Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) has a pivotal role in the progression and distant metastasis of cancers, including malignant bone tumors. To inhibit NF-κB activation, a new molecular therapy using synthetic double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) as a 'decoy' cis element against NF-κB has been developed. To determine whether pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma is reduced by inhibiting the action of NF-κB, NF-κB decoy ODN was transfected into the nuclei of murine osteosarcoma cells with high pulmonary metastatic potential, the LM8 cell line, using a three-dimensional alginate spheroid culture model. An in vitro study demonstrated the successful transfection of LM8 cells cultured in alginate beads by 'naked' NF-κB decoy ODN and that the activation of NF-κB signaling was significantly suppressed. Tumor growth was not affected by transfection of NF-κB decoy ODN, however, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) mRNA was markedly decreased. Furthermore, the transfection of 'naked' NF-κB decoy ODN effectively suppressed pulmonary metastasis in an in vivo alginate bead transplantation model. Our results suggest that NF-κB has a central and specific role in the regulation of tumor metastasis and could be a molecular target for development of anti-metastatic treatments for osteosarcoma.
