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

backgroundOur previous study identified a Wilms tumor-suppressing peptide (WTSP) that was upregulated in healthy children, but downregulated in children with Wilms tumor (WT). This study aimed to investigate the effect of WTSP on WT growth in vivo and in vitro.

methodsWTSP was synthesized by solid-phase synthesis of FOMC-protected amino acids. Cell growth curve, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis of WTSP-treated human WT cell line (SK-NEP-1) were determined by cell count, Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, and flow cytometry. The expression of key proteins of four WT-associated signaling pathways was determined by real-time PCR and western blotting. The WT xenograft mouse model was established by the armpit injection of SK-NEP-1 cells. The TUNEL assay was used to detect apoptosis in mouse tumor cells.

resultsWTSP inhibited the proliferation of SK-NEP-1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and it arrested SK-NEP-1 cells in G2/M phase. WTSP-treated cells exhibited a low expression of PCNA and Bcl-2 and high expression of Bax. The expression of β-catenin was markedly changed after WTSP treatment. WTSP-treated mice had significantly smaller tumors than untreated mice.

conclusionOur findings indicated an anti-tumor effect of WTSP, which is correlated with Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This newly identified peptide may exert a therapeutic effect of WT in the future.
