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

objectiveThe aim of this study is to estimate the role of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway on apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma induced by icotinib.

methodsEGFR mutation was detected in lung adenocarcinoma cell line PC-9 by ARMS assay; The inhibitory rates of cell proliferation of PC-9 cells which were exposed to different concentrations of icotinib (0~100 μMol/L) for different time (24~72 h) respectively were evaluated by MTT assay; Apoptosis of PC-9 cells exposed to different concentrations of icotinib (0, 0.1, 1 and 10 μMol/L) for 48 h were evaluated by TUNEL assay; JAK2, STAT3, Bcl-2, Bax mRNA expressions were evaluated by Real-time PCR assay; The protein levels of P-STAT3 and IL-6 were evaluated by Western-blot assay.

resultsHuman lung adenocarcinoma cell line PC-9 had an exon 19 deletion mutation in EGFR gene; Followed by treatment of icotinib, the proliferation of PC-9 cells were all inhibited significantly, especially in 48 and 72 h (P<0.01) in all concentrations; The inhibitory rates of cell proliferation in different treating time had statistical significance (P<0.01); Cell apoptosis in different concentrations were increased significantly (P<0.05); Along with the increasing concentrations, gene expression levels of JAK2, STAT3 and Bcl-2 decreased significantly (P<0.05), Bax increased significantly (P<0.05), JAK2/STAT3 ratios increased significantly (P<0.01), and Bcl-2/bax ratios decreased significantly (P<0.01); P-STAT3 and IL-6 protein levels were inhibited significantly in higher concentration.

conclusionsJAK/STAT3 signaling pathway participates in apoptosis of PC-9 cells induced by icotinib. The most likely mechanism is icotinib inhibited the gene expression levels of JAK2, STAT3 and Bcl-2, so with the P-STAT3 and IL-6 protein levels, and mediated gene Bax overexpression.
