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

Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for a considerable proportion of lung cancer cases, but there is still a lack of effective therapies. FGFR1 amplification is generally considered a promising therapeutic target. Honokiol is a chemical compound that has been proven to be effective against various malignancies and whose analog has been reported to target the mitogen-activated protein kinase family, members of a downstream signaling pathway of FGFR1. This was an explorative study to determine the mechanism of honokiol in lung SCC. We found that honokiol induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in lung SCC cell lines in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Honokiol also restricted cell migration in lung SCC cell lines. Moreover, the expression of FGF2 and the activation of FGFR1 were both downregulated by honokiol. Pharmacological inhibition and siRNA knockdown of FGFR1 induced apoptosis in lung SCC cells. Our in vivo study indicated that honokiol could suppress the growth of xenograft tumors, and this effect was associated with the inhibition of the FGF2-FGFR1 signaling pathway. In conclusion, honokiol induced cell apoptosis in lung SCC by targeting the FGF2-FGFR1 autocrine loop.
