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

backgroundThe STAT3/HIF-1α/VEGF pathway is associated with the development and progress of various tumors including NSCLC. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether resveratrol (RES) could suppress NSCLC progression via inhibiting the expressions of STAT3, HIF-1α, and VEGF in a nude rat model.

methodsTwenty-four nude rats were randomly divided into control, NSCLC, and NSCLC+RES groups. An orthotopic rat model of NSCLC was established. The animals in the NSCLC+RES group received the same operation as the NSCLC group and were intragastrically administered RES at 250 mg/kg/day for 12 weeks. Lung tissue samples were harvested for gross tumor burden measurement, histological examinations, RT-PCR, and Western blot assays.

resultsIn the NSCLC+RES group, significant decreases in lung weight index, lung tumor burden, STAT3/HIF-1α/VEGF mRNA, and protein levels were observed when compared with the NSCLC group (all

conclusionRES suppresses NSCLC partly through inhibiting the expressions of STAT3, HIF-1α, and VEGF. The STAT3/HIF-1α/VEGF pathway might be a candidate drug target for developing new chemotherapy agents derived from RES for the treatment of NSCLC.
