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

aimsNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the most common primary malignancy of the nasopharynx. Due to its local recurrence and distant metastasis, conventional therapy is usually ineffective. MDA-7/IL-24 (melanoma differentiation associated gene 7), a member of the IL10 family of cytokines, inhibits growth of various human cancer cells, but the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. There is no report of mda-7 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. We aimed to investigate the role of MDA-7/IL-24 in NPC.

methodsImmune defective adenoviral vector carrying the gene was produced, infected NPC CNE cells and observed its growth, cell proliferation, apoptosis and the effect of combination with chemotherapy.

resultsThe results showed that (1) MDA-7/IL-24 inhibited NPC CNE cell growth and survival; (2) mda-7 induced cell apoptosis and death; (3) MDA-7/IL-24 in collaboration with chemotherapy induced cell apoptosis significantly; (4) MDA-7/IL-24 induced cell apoptosis by down-regulation of anti-apoptosis molecules such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl and up-regulation of caspase 3.

conclusionThe results suggested that MDA-7/IL-24 had obvious therapeutic effect in NPC cells. It is verified that adenovirus mediated MDA-7/IL-24 represents a potentially important new approach to NPC therapy.
