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

objectiveAutophagy plays important roles in tumor occurrence and development. The present study aimed to investigate the association between autophagy and apoptosis in clear cell renal carcinoma cells (ccRCCs).

methodsAtg7-overexpressing and -knockdown RCC 786-O cells (pLenti6.3-ATG7 and sh-ATG7-2 lv) were established using lentiviral transfection and interference shRNA. pLenti6.3-GFP and sh-scramb-con lv were used as controls. Cells were cultured in medium with or without the apoptosis inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK. Cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. Expression of apoptotic pathway proteins was measured by Western blot.

resultsThe apoptosis rate of Z-VAD-FMK-treated cells was significantly decreased compared with untreated cells (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference in the apoptosis rate was detected among cell groups with different autophage level. The Z-VAD-FMK treatment induced significant changes in apoptosis rate in all cell groups, but only slightly changed the cell proliferation. When cell apoptosis were inhibited by Z-VAD-FMK, the cell viability in pLenti6.3-ATG7 group was significantly reduced compared with 786-O control (P < 0.05), whereas the cell viability in sh-ATG7-2 lv was significantly enhanced (P < 0.05) indicating that cell proliferation was closely associated with the level of autophage. The expression of caspase proteins in pLenti6.3-ATG7 was significantly higher compared with sh-ATG7-2 lv group (P < 0.05).

conclusionautophagy and apoptosis are independent processes of PCD in human ccRCC 786-O cells. Autophagy is the main type of PCD and may be closely associated with apoptosis through the classical death receptor, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum apoptosis pathway.
