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

Arsenic trioxide (As₂O₃), a traditional remedy in Chinese medicine, has been used in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) research and clinical treatment. Previous studies have shown that As₂O₃ exerts its potent antitumor effects in solid tumors by regulating cell proliferation and survival. The aim of this study was to investigate whether As₂O₃ inhibited gastric cancer cell migration and angiogenesis by regulating FOXO3a expression. We found that As₂O₃ reduced gastric cancer cell viability in a dose-dependent manner and also inhibited cell migration and angiogenesis in vitro. Western blotting and immunofluorescence showed that As₂O₃ downregulated the levels of p-AKT, upregulated FOXO3a expression in the nucleus, and attenuated downstream Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) expression. Moreover, we demonstrated that knockdown of FOXO3a significantly reversed the inhibition of As₂O₃ and promoted cell migration and angiogenesis in vitro. Further, As₂O₃ significantly inhibited xenograft tumor growth and angiogenesis by upregulating FOXO3a expression in vivo. However, knockdown of FOXO3a attenuated the inhibitory effect of As₂O₃ in xenograft tumors, and increased microvessel density (MVD) and VEGF expression. Our results demonstrated that As₂O₃ inhibited migration and angiogenesis of gastric cancer cells by enhancing FOXO3a expression.
