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

The VHL tumor suppressor gene is frequently inactivated in several human tumors, including bone sarcomas. We previously identified that reduced expression of VHL protein is implicated in sarcomagenesis. However, the underlying biological functions of restored VHL protein expression have not been clearly elucidated in bone sarcomas. Here we initially constructed a recombinant adenovirus 5-VHL vector (Ad5-VHL) and evaluated its expression in bone sarcomas, and antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. We found that the adenovirus-mediated increase of VHL significantly suppresses bone sarcoma cell growth, attributed to induction of apoptosis mediated by increased caspase-3 activity and modulated Bcl-2 protein family. This suppression effect involves inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and upregulation of GSK-3β. Moreover, Ad5-VHL showed a dramatic antitumor effect on a chondrosarcoma xenograft model. These findings establish that Ad5-VHL suppresses bone sarcoma cell growth by inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and may be a novel target for gene-based therapy of bone sarcomas.
