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

Here we have investigated whether inhibition of c-Fos expression in RKO human colon carcinoma cells (HCCCs) would result in reduced TGFβ1 expression and suppression of tumor growth in athymic mice. We stably transfected RKO cells with c-Fos small interfering RNA (siRNA) or with the corresponding control siRNA. Using these stable cell lines, we demonstrated that siRNA-c-Fos significantly suppressed both AP-1 binding, promoter reporter activity at the proximal AP-1 site in the TGFβ1 promoter, and TGFβ1 production. Further, we established colon cancer xenografts with each of RKO-siRNA-EV, RKO-siRNA-Ctrl and RKO-siRNA-c-Fos cells. By 24 days, the tumor size of RKO-siRNA-c-Fos xenografts was 40% that of either RKO-EV or RKO-siRNA-Ctrl. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of tumor xenografts demonstrated that siRNA-c-Fos significantly blocked c-Fos expression, and consequently expression of TGFβ1. However, expression of TGFβ2 and TGFβ3 were unaffected. Overall, our results demonstrate that blockade of TGFβ1 production by siRNA-c-Fos effectively suppressed tumor growth in vivo.
