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

introductionHuman double minute2 (hdm2) level increases in most human malignancies. Therefore, inhibition of tumor growth and also induction of radiosensitivity may be provided by hdm2 inhibitors. The effects of hdm2-siRNA on hdm2 protein expression, cell apoptosis rate, and radiosensitivity of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) were studied.

methodsThe hdm2 gene was silenced in TE1, TE8, and TE11 ESCC cell lines using 200nM siRNA by liposomal transfection method followed by irradiation with 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 Gy γ-rays in vitro. The gene expression levels were evaluated by real time PCR and Western Blotting methods. MTT, TUNEL, and also colony forming assays were used to compare the radiosensitivity of the cell lines before and after the treatments.

resultsHdm2-siRNA reduced the hdm2 protein as compared to the vehicle control and scrambled groups, and also increased the radiation-induced apoptosis especially in TE11 cells. The related dose reduction factors (DRFs) for the silenced TE1, TE8, and TE11 cells calculated to be 1.20, 1.30, and 2.75, respectively.

conclusionIncreasing radiosensitivity of tumor cells may be provided by silencing the oncogenes.
