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

Angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vessels, is essential for tumor progression. Synthetic derivatives of anti-cancer compound, noscapine (an opium alkaloid) such as Cl-noscapine, Br-noscapine and Folate-noscapine along with two of the reference compounds, TNP-470 and paclitaxel were examined for anti-angiogenic activities by using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The noscapine derivatives showed anti-angiogenic activity albeit at high concentration compared to the reference compounds. All the tested compounds inhibited angiogenesis in a dose-dependent manner; the drug concentration causing 50% inhibition of cell survival was 11.87 μM for Cl-noscapine, 6.9 μM for Br-noscapine and 6.79 μM for folate-noscapine. Besides, all the noscapine derivatives significantly inhibited cord formation (IC50 for Cl-noscapine is 50.76 μM, for Br-noscapine is 90.08 μM and for folate-noscapine is 18.44 μM) as well as migration and invasion (IC50 value of Cl-noscapine is 28.01 μM, for Br-noscapine is 19.78 μM and for folate-noscapine is 10.76 μM) of endothelial cells. Based on these results, we speculated that the inhibitory effects on human endothelial cell proliferation of noscapine derivatives might be important for anti-angiogenesis.
