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

To remedy the drug resistance of natural tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and enhance its antitumor effects, we prepared a type of TRAIL mutant membrane penetrating peptide alike (TMPPA)‑TRAIL mutant R6 (MuR6-TR) by mutating the N‑terminal of the soluble TRAIL gene sequence. The expressed MuR6‑TR protein was purified to treat pancreatic carcinoma cell lines BxPC‑3 and PANC‑1. The inhibitory effects on the proliferation of BxPC‑3 and PANC‑1 cells was assessed with CCK‑8 assay and compared with natural TRAIL. The antitumor effect of MuR6‑TR was assessed on implant tumors derived from PANC‑1 cells in nude mice and compared with gemcitabine. Finally, the soluble MuR6‑TR gene was successfully mutated with 4 amino acids in the N‑terminal of TRAIL and had a molecular size of 513 bp. The mutant MuR6‑TR was connected to pET32a and verified by enzymatic digestion and sequencing. The recombinant MuR6‑TR was transformed and expressed in Escherichia coli. The CCK‑8 assay results indicated that MuR6‑TR inhibited the growth of BxPC‑3 and PANC‑1 cells in a dose‑dependent manner, with IC50 values of 4.63 and 7.84 ng/ml, respectively, which were much lower than that of natural TRAIL. MuR6‑TR demonstrated a higher inhibitory effect on tumor growth (24.2%) than natural TRAIL (14.4%) and an effect similar to that of gemcitabine at an early period. Thus, the mutant MuR6‑TR exhibited a stronger antitumor effect than that of natural TRAIL both in vivo and in vitro and may have potential therapeutic value for pancreatic carcinoma, which requires further validation.
