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

backgroundAccumulating evidence suggests that sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1)/sphingosine 1-phosphate pathway plays a pivotal role in colon carcinogenesis.

methodsTo further support the evidence, we investigated the effects of SphK1 using three separate animal models: SphK1 knockout mice, SphK1 overexpressing transgenic mice, and SphK1 overexpression in human colon cancer xenografts. Using azoxymethane (AOM, colon carcinogen), we analyzed colon tumor development in SphK1 KO and SphK1 overexpression in intestinal epithelial cells regulated by a tet-on system. Then, we analyzed subcutaneous tumor growth using xenografts of HT-29 human colon cancer cell. Finally, immunohistochemical analyses for SphK1 and COX-2 were performed on human colon cancer tissue microarray.

resultsSphK1 KO mice, compared to wild-type mice, demonstrated a significant inhibition in colon cancer development induced by AOM (58.6% vs. 96.4%, respectively, P < 0.005). Tumor multiplicity (1.00 vs. 1.64 per colon, respectively, P < 0.05) and tumor volume (14.82 mm

conclusionsSphK1 expression regulates the early stage of colon carcinogenesis and tumor growth, thus inhibition of SphK1 may be an effective strategy for colon cancer chemoprevention.
