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

The purpose of this study is to develop a specific and efficient targeted gene therapy candidate approach for laryngeal carcinomas. Several promoters of human squamous cell carcinoma antigen 2(SCCA2), secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) and Survivin genes were cloned from human genomic DNA and evaluated for tumor-specific transcription potential in human laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells by dual luciferase assays. One SLPI promoter fragment (677 bp) showed the highest efficiency and specificity, and was used to control the expression of a recombinant active caspases-3 (revCasp3), which could trigger apoptosis without activation of its upstream cascade elements once expressed in a cell, in an adenoviral vector (Ad-SLPI-revCasp3), and its antitumor efficacy was assessed. In vitro infection with Ad-SLPI-revCasp3 showed revCasp3 could be specifically expressed in Hep-2 cells, resulting in efficient activation of endogenous Caspase-3 and subsequent apoptosis of Hep-2 cells. In Hep-2 nude mice xenograft model, intratumoral administration of Ad-SLPI-revCasp3 significantly inhibited tumor growth without obvious loss of body weight and obvious hepatic toxicity. In summary, our study showed the specific and efficient apoptosis-inducing potential of Ad-SLPI-revCasp3, and this makes it a new candidate approach of targeted gene therapy for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, which needs further systematic investigation.
