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

Abnormal activation of Notch signaling is involved in the etiology of various diseases, including cancer, but the association between Notch3 expression in urothelial cancer and clinical outcome remains unclear, and the molecular mechanisms underlying Notch3 signaling activation are not well defined. In this study we examined 59 urothelial cancer patients and found that Notch3 was more highly expressed in human urothelial cancer tissues than in non-tumorous bladder tissue samples, with Notch3 overexpression being associated with poor clinical outcome. Notch3 knockdown resulted in decreased proliferation of urothelial cancer cells in vitro and decreased xenograft tumor growth in vivo. In addition, Notch3 knockdown rendered urothelial cancer cells more sensitive to cisplatin. Furthermore, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA, a histone deacetylase [HDAC] inhibitor) induced acetylation of NOTCH3, downregulated Notch 3, prevented urothelial cancer cell proliferation, and induced cell cycle arrest. Taken together, these data suggested that Notch 3 overexpression promotes growth and chemoresistance in urothelial cancer.
