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

introductionPhotodynamic therapy (PDT), an alternative treatment modality for superficial bladder tumors is based on the interaction of a photosensitizer with light. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising candidate for anticancer therapy due to its ability to selectively induce apoptosis in cancer cells. However, not all tumor cells are sensitive to TRAIL. TRAIL-resistant cancer cells can be sensitized to TRAIL induced apoptosis by anticancer agents.

objectiveWe investigated the combined cytotoxic effect of TRAIL and PDT with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on bladder cancer cells. MATERIALS AND

methodsTHREE HUMAN BLADDER TRANSITIONAL CANCER CELL LINES: T24, 647V, and SW780 were treated with TRAIL and/or ALA-mediated PDT. Cytotoxicity was determined by MTT and LDH assay.

resultsOur study confirmed that T24 and 647V bladder cancer cells were resistant to TRAIL, whereas SW780 cells were sensitive to TRAIL. We therefore examined the cytotoxic effect of TRAIL in combination with ALA-mediated PDT on bladder cancer cells. We showed for the first time that pretreatment with low dose of PDT significantly sensitizes bladder cancer cells to TRAIL induced cytotoxicity.

conclusionALA-mediated PDT augments the cytotoxic effect of TRAIL on transitional cancer cells of bladder. The obtained results suggest that combined treatment of TRAIL and PDT may provide the basis for a new strategy to induce cytotoxicity in bladder cancer cells.
