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

Malignant neuroblastomas are solid tumors in children. Available therapeutic agents are not highly effective for treatment of malignant neuroblastomas. Therefore, new treatment strategies are urgently needed. We tested the efficacy of combination of SU5416 (SU), an inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a polyphenolic compound from green tea, for controlling growth of human malignant neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y and SK-N-BE2 cells. Combination of 20 μM SU and 50 μM EGCG synergistically inhibited cell survival, suppressed expression of VEGFR-2, inhibited cell migration, caused cell cycle arrest, and induced apoptosis. Combination of SU and EGCG effectively blocked angiogenic and survival pathways and modulated expression of cell cycle regulators. Apoptosis was induced by down regulation of Bcl-2, activation of caspase-3, and cleavage of the DNA repair enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Taken together, this combination of drugs can be a promising therapeutic strategy for controlling the growth of human malignant neuroblastoma cells.
