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

Wnt/Beta-Catenin signaling is involved in the carcinogenesis of different solid malignant tumors. The interaction of Creb-binding protein (CBP) with Beta-Catenin is a pivotal component of the Wnt/Beta-Catenin signaling pathway. The first aim of this study was to evaluate the association of CBP expression with survival in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Second, the in vitro effects of the inhibition of CBP/Beta-Catenin interaction were analyzed. In particular, the effects of ICG-001, an inhibitor of CBP/Beta-Catenin interaction, on proliferation, cell death, modulation of Wnt/Beta-Catenin target expression, and cell migration were examined in vitro. High CBP expression is significantly associated with better survival on mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, we observed cytotoxic as well as anti-migratory effects of ICG-001. These effects were particularly more potent in the HPV-positive than in the -negative cell line. Mechanistically, ICG-001 treatment induced apoptosis and led to a downregulation of CBP, c-MYC, and Cyclin D1 in HPV-positive cells, indicating inhibition of Wnt/Beta-Catenin signaling. In conclusion, high CBP expression is observed in HPV-positive HNSCC patients with a good prognosis, and ICG-001 showed a promising antineoplastic potential, particularly in HPV-positive HNSCC cells. Therefore, ICG-001 may potentially become an essential component of treatment de-escalation regimens for HPV-positive HNSCC. Further studies are warranted for additional assessment of the mechanistic background of our in vitro findings.
