Effects of melanoma differentiation associated gene-7 (MDA-7/IL-24) on apoptosis of liver cancer cells via regulating the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2.
Article in Oncology letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The present study investigated the mechanism of selective killing of liver cancer cells of melanoma differentiation associated gene-7 (MDA-7, also called IL-24α) in order to provide a theoretical basis for gene therapy of liver cancer. A recombinant eukaryotic expression vector (pcDNA3-MDA-7) containing human MDA-7 gene was constructed, which was then delivered to liver cancer cell line HepG2 and normal liver cell line L02. The positive cell clone was screened by G418. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to confirm the occurrence of MDA-7 transcription in the transfected cells. The protein expression of MDA-7 was determined by western blot analysis. The effects of MDA-7 on liver cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis were investigated through MTT assay and flow cytometry by Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI) double-staining. The mitochondrial protein was extracted from the normal liver cell line L02 and liver cancer cell line HepG2 at 3 day post-culture, in which the alterations of anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), mitochondria-released cytochrome
