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

The ether phospholipid edelfosine is the prototype of a group of synthetic antitumor alkyllysophospholipid (ALP) compounds that exert pro-apoptotic effects in various types of cancer cells through cell type-dependent mechanisms. In this study, we examined the antitumor effect of edelfosine in human gastric cancer cells. Edelfosine decreased cell viability and induced autophagic death at a moderate concentration (~30 μM), whereas it induced apoptotic cell death at concentrations over 30 μM. Interestingly, low concentrations of edelfosine (5-10 μM) effectively enhanced recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (rhTRAIL/TNFSF10)-induced apoptosis and clonogenicity in gastric cancer cells, including TRAIL-resistant AGS cells. Edelfosine upregulated the protein level of death receptor 5 (DR5/TNFRSF10B) and/or increased DR5 upregulation in lipid rafts. In addition, edelfosine-mediated rhTRAIL sensitization was regulated by the DR5 pathway. Edelfosine also activated p38MAPK (MAPK14), and edelfosine-mediated rhTRAIL sensitization was partially regulated by a p38-mediated decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. This study suggests a novel therapeutic strategy targeting gastric cancer cells by using the combination of edelfosine and TRAIL.
