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

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) exerts tumor-inhibitory effects on acute leukemia and certain types of solid tumors. This study was designed to evaluate the mechanism on ATRA-mediated suppression of colon cancer based on the sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway.

methodsNormal intestinal epithelial cells and three colon cancer cell lines were studied to evaluate the inhibitory effect of ATRA on tumor cell activity. The inhibitory effect of ATRA on colon cancer was evaluated by cell invasion, migration, and apoptosis of HCT116 cells. Retinoic acid receptor (RAR)- and Shh-related protein expression was assessed.

resultsATRA administration inhibited the activity of three different colon cancer lines, but did not inhibit the activity of normal intestinal epithelial cells. Administration of ATRA induced apoptosis and restricted invasion and migration of HCT116 colon cancer cells. Administration of ATRA also increased expression of RAR and transmembrane receptor patched 1 (Ptch1), and decreased expression of the smoothened (Smo) and glioma-associated oncogene homolog1 (Gli-1). RAR

conclusionsATRA inhibits the growth of colon cancer by downregulating the Shh pathway, which further verifies the anticancer activity of ATRA.
