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

purposeTo investigate whether fructopyrano-(1→4)-glucopyranose (FG) inhibits the proliferation of liver cancer cells and angiogenesis in a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) dependent manner.

methodsBel-7402, HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells with high expression of VEGF and VEGFR were screened. Bel-7402 cells and human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) were treated with FG for 48 h. CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation. Wound healing assay was used to investigate effect of FG on the migration of HMECs. Tube formation assay was done to test influence of FG on the angiogenesis of HMECs, and qRT-PCR and western blot assay were performed to detect mRNA and protein expression of VEGF, Fit-1 and KDR. Nude mice were inoculated with Bel-7402 cells, and influence of FG on tumor growth, microvessel density (MVD) and VEGF expression in tumor was investigated.

resultsBel-7402 cells had a significantly higher expression of VEGF and VEGFR when compared with HepG2 cells and SMMC-7721 cells. FG could markedly reduce the mRNA and protein expressions of VEGF, Fit-1 and KDR in Bel-7402 cells and inhibit the proliferation of Bel-7402 cells in a concentration dependent manner. In addition, FG was able to remarkably inhibit the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of HMECs, exerting anti-angiogenetic effect. In cancer-bearing nude mice, FG was found to inhibit the tumor growth, reduce MVD in tumors and decrease the VEGF in tumors.

conclusionsFG can inhibit proliferation of liver cancer cells and suppression angiogenesis in liver cancer in a VEGF/VEGFR dependent manner.
