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

Gastric cancer is an important cancer type worldwide, the anti‑angiogenic agent BC001 can target the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), and significantly suppresses the growth of gastric cancer BGC823 cells in vitro and in vivo. However, numerous results indicated that antiangiogenic drugs could induce autophagy, and the inhibition of autophagy enhanced the anticancer effects of antiangiogenic agents. In the present study, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), an inhibitor of autophagy, enhanced the antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects of BC001 in vitro. Furthermore, HCQ enhanced the antitumor effects of BC001 on BGC823 xenograft tumors in vivo. Of note, BC001 neither induced nor inhibited autophagy. RNA‑sequencing results revealed that HCQ regulated autophagy or lysosomal‑associated genes, such as tumor protein p53‑inducible nuclear protein 1, interleukin (IL)1B, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), Mediterranean fever, ubiquitin specific peptidase 36, IL6, neuraminidase (NEU)1, ATP‑binding cassette subfamily A member 1, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, myelin basic protein and NEU3. Importantly, HCQ was determined to affect multiple pathways, including 'negative regulation of endothelial cell proliferation', 'blood vessel remodeling', 'cell surface receptor signaling pathways' and 'notch receptor processing' associated with 'signal transduction', 'cancers' and 'immune system', through regulating C‑X‑C motif chemokine ligand 8, TNF, IL6, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and FOS genes. In summary, HCQ was proposed to enhance the anticancer effects of BC001 in gastric cancer via complex mechanisms.
