Recombinant human endostatin combined with radiotherapy promotes cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rats via TGFβ1/Smads/CTGF signaling pathway.

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.
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
purposeThe aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of recombinant human endostatin (ES) (rh-ES) combined with radiation on rat cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the regulatory mechanism of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1)/Sma and Mad-related protein 3 (Smad3)/connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) signaling.
methodThe primary cardiomyocytes were isolated from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats for culture in vitro and divided into blank control group (without treatment), 10 Gy radiation + siTGF-β1 siRNA (gene silencing) group, ES + siTGF-β1 siRNA group, and 10 Gy radiation + ES + siTGF-β1 siRNA group. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay was used to calculate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
resultsES had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of primary rat cardiomyocytes. ES combined with radiotherapy significantly inhibited cardiomyocyte proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis (P < 0.01). The gene and protein expression of TGF-β1, Smad2, Smad3 and CTGF were significantly up-regulated in primary cardiomyocytes transfected with TGF-β1 gene (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe combination therapy with rh-ES and radiation can promote cardiomyocyte apoptosis and aggravate myocardial cell damage via TGF-β1/Smad3/CTGF signaling pathway.
