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

Tumor angiogenesis plays a crucial role in tumor growth, progression and metastasis, and suppression of tumor angiogenesis has been considered as a promising anticancer strategy. Salinomycin (SAL), an antibiotic, displays novel anticancer potential against several human cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. However, little information concerning its anti-angiogenic properties is available. Therefore, the anti‑angiogenic effect of SAL and the underlying mechanism in human glioma were evaluated in the present study. The results indicated that SAL treatment significantly inhibited human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, migration, invasion and capillary-like tube formation. Further investigation on intracellular mechanisms showed that SAL markedly suppressed FAK and AKT phosphorylation, and downregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in HUVECs. Pretreatment of cells with a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) and FAK inhibitor (PF562271) markedly enhanced SAL-induced inhibition of HUVEC proliferation and migration, respectively. Moreover, U251 human glioma xenograft growth was also effectively blocked by SAL treatment in vivo via inhibition of angiogenesis involving FAK and AKT depho-sphorylation. Taken together, our findings validated that SAL inhibits angiogenesis and human glioma growth through suppression of the VEGF-VEGFR2-AKT/FAK signaling axis, indicating the potential application of SAL for the treatment of human glioma.
