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

objectiveThe present study evaluated the anti-cancer effects of irradiation (Ir) alone, Ir after heat shock protein 90 inhibitor; 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) and gold nanoparticle (GNP) treatments in human colorectal cancer cell line (HCT-116), with the targeting of related mechanisms.

methodsWater-soluble tetrazolium salt-1 assay was utilized to study the cytotoxic effects of 17-AAG, GNP, Ir in single and combination cases on the cell viability of HCT-116 cells. The cells were examined with DNA fragmentation electrophoresis and evaluated for apoptosis induction. Caspase-3 expression as a critical apoptosis element in protein level was detected by western blotting.

resultsTreatment with 17-AAG in a dose dependent manner for 24 h inhibited the cellular viability of HCT-116 cells. GNP at a dose of 70 μM had the lowest cytotoxic effects and was thus selected for combination treatment studies. Based on the results, GNP at a dose of 70 μM did not have a significant effect on cellular viability of HCT-116. In contrast, the evaluation of double and triple combinations, GNP with Ir (2 Gy of 6 MV X-ray radiation) and 17-AAG in double combinations induced significant cytotoxicity. Both DNA damage pattern and caspase-3 protein upregulation were present in Ir,GNP/17-AAG,GNP and Ir,17-AAG combinations compared to single treatments. Furthermore, in the three combination of GNP,Ir,17-AAG, radiosensitization effects (increased caspase-3 expression) occurred with a minimum concentration of 17-AAG.

conclusionAccording to the results of this study, 17-AAG as chemotherapeutic agent in combination with Ir and GNP exerts noticeable anti-cancer effects, inhibited cell viability, and increased apoptosis occurrence by upregulating caspase-3 expression. It is suggested that these combinations should be more evaluated as a promising candidate for colorectal cancer treatment. Graphical abstract Anti-cancer effects of chemotherapeutic agent; 17-AAG, in combined with gold nanoparticles and irradiation in human colorectal cancer cells.
