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

objectiveTo study the synergistic inhibitory effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) monoclonal antibody (bFGF mAb) and irinotecan on the proliferation of small cell lung cancer H223 cells.

methodsCCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were used to assess the effects of bFGF mAb combined with irinotecan on the proliferation and apoptosis of H223 cells, respectively. Western blotting was performed to analyze the effect of bFGF-mAb combined with irinotecan on AKT and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in the cells.

resultsBoth bFGF mAb and irinotecan alone inhibited H223 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The inhibitory rate was significantly higher in H223 cells treated with bFGF mAb + irinotecan (54.30%) than in cell treated with bFGF mAb (18.73%) or irinotecan (21.96%) alone (P<0.05). Both bFGF mAb and irinotecan induced H223 cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05), and the combined treatment resulted in a significantly higher early apoptosis rates (6.5%) than treatment with bFGF mAb (2.7%) or irinotecan (4.3%) alone (P<0.05). bFGF mAb and irinotecan, either alone or in combination, significantly inhibited the levels of p-AKT protein and p-ERK1/2 protein without obviously affecting AKT and ERK1/2 protein levels.

conclusionbFGF mAb and irinotecan produce synergistic inhibitory effects on small cell lung cancer H223 cells by suppressing proliferation and promoting apoptosis of the cells, and can effectively block the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways associated with bFGF.
