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

A functional p53 protein plays an important role in killing tumor cells. Previous studies showed that chemotherapeutic drug, paclitaxel (PTX), showed anti-tumor activity through inducing G2/M arrest and apoptosis by targeting microtubules in tumor cells. However, PTX was not sensitive to p53-inactivated papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cells by inducing G2/M arrest only. Recombinant adenovirus-p53 (rAd-p53) was used to increase the level of p53, which significantly increased the sensitivity of PTC cells to PTX by inducing S arrest, G2/M arrest and apoptosis. To discuss the anti-tumor mechanism of rAd-p53 + PTX and found p53 activation was necessary for anti-tumor effect of PTX in PTC cells. There was high level of p53 in rAd-p53-treated PTC cells. rAd-p53 + PTX increased the level of p21, p-ATM and γ-H2AX and decreased the level of Cyclin D1/E1, suggesting p53 activated p21 which negatively regulated cyclins to induce S arrest response to DNA damage in PTC cells. rAd-p53 + PTX increased the levels of cleaved-PARP-1, cleaved -Caspase 3, and BAX and decreased the level of BCL-XL, suggesting p53 regulates the expression of BAX/BCL-XL to mediate DNA damage-induced apoptosis in PTC cells. Furthermore, rAd-p53 + PTX showed significant tumor inhibition in TPC-1 xenograft model, with an inhibitory rate of 79.39%. TUNEL assay showed rAd-p53 + PTX induced notable apoptosis in tumor tissues. rAd-p53 showed good sensitization of PTX
