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

backgroundHypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is overexpressed in many human tumors and their metastases, and is closely associated with a more aggressive tumor phenotype. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of resveratrol (RES) on the expression of ischemic-induced HIF-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in rat liver.

methodsTwenty-four rats were randomized into Sham, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), and RES preconditioning groups. I/R was induced by portal pedicle clamping for 60 minutes followed by reperfusion for 60 minutes. The rats in RES group underwent the same surgical procedure as I/R group, and received 20 mg/kg resveratrol intravenously 30 min prior to ischemia. Blood and liver tissue samples were collected and subjected to biochemical assays, RT-PCR, and Western blot assays.

resultsI/R resulted in a significant (P<0.05) increase in liver HIF-1α and VEGF at both mRNA and protein levels 60 minutes after reperfusion. The mRNA and protein expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF decreased significantly in RES group when compared to I/R group (P<0.05).

conclusionThe inhibiting effect of RES on the expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF induced by I/R in rat liver suggested that HIF-1α/VEGF could be a promising drug target for RES in the development of an effective anticancer therapy for the prevention of hepatic tumor growth and metastasis.
