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

objectiveThis study is to investigate the in vivo effects of 4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl retinate (ATPR) on gastric carcinomas (GC).

methodsAdult male nude mice were subcutaneously injected with SGC-7901 human gastric cancer cells. Tumor cell cycle was analyzed with flow cytometry. The expression levels of cycloxygenase 2 (COX-2) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in xenograft tumors were detected with immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of nuclear retinoic acid receptor β (RARβ) were detected with RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively.

resultsThe mean survival time was dramatically increased in the ATPR treatment groups, in a dose-dependent manner. The in vivo results showed that, the xenograft tumor growth was significantly inhibited by the ATPR treatment. Moreover, the percentages of cells in the G0/G1 phase were significantly increased, while the percentages of cells in the S phase were significantly decreased, in the ATPR treatment groups. The serum levels of ALP and LDH were both dramatically decreased in the ATPR treatment groups. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry showed that, the expression levels of COX-2 and CEA were dramatically decreased in the ATPR treatment groups. Importantly, the mRNA and protein expression levels of RARβ in xenograft tumors were apparently increased by the ATPR treatment.

conclusionATPR could inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation of human gastric carcinoma xenografts via up-regulating RARβ expression. ATPR might be a potential effective antitumor agent for the treatment of GC.
