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

COTI-2 is a third-generation thiosemicarbazone, which is effective against a diverse group of human cancer cell lines at nanomolar concentrations. COTI-2 also showed superior activity against tumor cells, in vitro and in vivo. As a high efficacy and low toxicity agent, it currently candidates in a phase I clinical study of gynecological malignancies and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, its effect in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is not clear. This study investigates the effect of COTI-2 on T-ALL Jurkat cells in vitro and in vivo. Jurkat cells were exposure to COTI-2 at different concentration and time. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry to examine the sensitivity of Jurkat cell lines treated with either COTI-2 alone or in combination with MiR-203 mimic or inhibitor in vitro. An orthotopic mouse model was used to examine the sensitivity of Jurkat cells treated with COTI-2 in vivo. Western blotting and RT-qPCR were performed to dissect molecular mechanisms. The results showed that COTI-2 promotes apoptosis of Jurkat cells in dose-and time-dependent way. Enforced expression of miR-203 promotes COTI-2-mediated cell apoptosis, whereas miR-203 silencing attenuates COTI-2-mediated cell apoptosis in Jurkat cells in vitro. COTI-2 is also effective against growth of Jurkat cells in vivo. Mechanistically, COTI-2 induced miR-203 upregulation and inhibited caspase-3/9 activaty leading to inhibition of cell apoptosis. Taken together, COTI-2 inhibits tumor growth in vitro and in vivo in Jurkat cells likely through miR-203-dependent mechanisms. COTI-2 may be a potential approach for T-ALL treatment.
