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

objectiveConsidering the potential of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) migrating towards cancer cells, this study was performed to explore the function of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) modified ADSCs on the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsADSCs were extracted from human adipose tissues and identified through immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Oil red staining and alizarin red staining were performed to clarify the differentiation potential of ADSCs. AAV-CMV-sTRAIL was transfected into ADSCs before Western blot and Transwell measurements. sTRAIL-ADSCs were cocultured with HCC cells to explore its effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of HCC cells. The possible effect of sTRAIL-ADSCs or ADSCs on tumor growth and metastasis was determined in vivo using xenograft nude mouse models.

resultsADSCs were successfully extracted from adipose tissues, which were confirmed by cell morphology and positive expressions of CD44 and CD105. ADSCs were found with differentiation potential. After transfection, TRAIL was stably expressed in sTRAIL-ADSCs. Both ADSCs and sTRAIL-ADSCs can migrate towards HCC cells. In addition, sTRAIL-ADSCs can promote the cell apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation in vitro, on parallel it can also suppress epithelial-mesenchymal transition, tumor growth, and metastasis in vivo.

conclusionTRAIL modified ADSCs can migrate towards HCC cells to inhibit tumor growth and the metastasis of implanted HCC tumors, which hints TRAIL modified ADSCs may be a new therapeutic approach for HCC treatment.
