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

Dysregulated activity of helicase eIF4A drives transformation to and maintenance of cancer cell phenotype by reprogramming cellular translation. Interleukin 24 (IL-24) is a tumor-suppressing protein, which has the ability to inhibit angiogenesis, sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy, and induce cancer cell-specific apoptosis. In this study, we found that eIF4A is inhibited by IL-24. Consequently, selective reduction of translation was observed for mRNAs harboring strong secondary structures in their 5'-untranslated regions (5'UTRs). These mRNAs encode proteins, which function in cell survival and proliferation. Consistently, overexpression of eIF4A conferred cancer cells with resistance to IL-24-induced cell death. It has been established that inhibition of eIF4A triggers mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. We showed that IL-24 induces eIF4A-dependent mitochondrial depolarization. We also showed that IL-24 induces Sigma 1 Receptor-dependent eIF4A down-regulation and mitochondrial depolarization. Thus, the progress of apoptosis triggered by IL-24 is characterized by a complex program of changes in regulation of several initiation factors, including the eIF4A.
