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

Fibrosarcoma is a serious malignant mesenchymal tumor with strong invasiveness, high recurrence, and poor prognosis. Currently, surgical resection is the main treatment for fibrosarcoma. However, due to the lack of specific biomarkers, the inability to accurately diagnose fibrosarcoma can lead to sub-optimal surgical outcomes and decreased survival. Here, we seek to address this translational barrier and we show that DNA aptamer S11e was able to recognize fibrosarcoma cells (HT1080) but not human embryonic lung fibroblast cells with Kd values in the nanomolar range. In addition, we found that S11e discerned tumors in HT1080 xenograft mouse models and tumor tissues from fibrosarcoma patients. Furthermore, we demonstrated that S11e internalized into HT1080 cells independent of the lysosome pathway and located in mitochondria. Moreover, we revealed that S11e promoted the apoptosis of HT1080 cells and inhibited HT1080 cell migration. Finally, we investigated the biologically functional cellular target of S11e using a mass spectrometry approach, and identified that Diablo/SMAC protein is a cellular binding protein of S11e, by interacting to which S11e inhibited HT1080 cell migration and invasion. Taken together, these results provide the evidence that S11e may be useful for early diagnosis, targeted therapy, and prognostication of fibrosarcoma.
