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

Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has shown anticancer activity against a variety of solid tumor models through induction of apoptosis, promotion of cellular differentiation, and inhibition of cellular invasive ability. The present study investigated the role of ceramide in regulating the invasive activity of hepatoma carcinoma HCCLM3 cells during ATO treatment. We found that ATO treatment inhibited HCCLM3 cell invasion and downregulated matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) protein levels in a concentration-dependent manner. ATO also dose dependently induced the generation and accumulation of ceramide in HCCLM3 cells. Blockage of intracellular ceramide production through the inhibition of de novo ceramide synthesis or the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin increased the invasive ability and upregulated MMP-9 protein levels. The findings of this study indicated that ATO induced ceramide production through de novo ceramide synthesis and the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin and suggested that ceramide accumulation in response to ATO stimuli may play an important role in cancer therapy.
