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

Malignant pheochromocytoma is exactly diagnosed only upon the occurrence of metastatic foci. At that point, however, patients are less likely to experience many benefits from traditional chemotherapy. Therefore, a strategy worthy of consideration is inhibition or delay of metastasis with drugs. Recently, numerous studies have indicated that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in malignant pheochromocytoma, where there is over-expression of metastatic promoting genes and low expression of metastatic suppressor genes. In previous research, we confirmed that apogossypolone (ApoG2) could effectively inhibit tumor movement capabilities, but potential mechanisms for the inhibition were unknown. Here, we initially corroborated that ApoG2 could induce GSK-3/AKT complex formation to down-regulate phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. Subsequently, ApoG2 inhibited cell mobilities via promotion of E-cadherin and β-catenin translocation from cytoplasm to membrane dependent on down-regulate of the PI3K/AKT pathway. Unexpectedly, ApoG2 seemed to promote tumor progression, instead of suppression when there were circulating tumor cells
