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

Multiple myeloma is a type of malignant neoplasia whose treatment has changed over the past decade. This study aimed to investigate the effects of combination of Adenovector-carrying interleukin-24 and herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine kinase/ganciclovir on tumor growth, autophagy, and unfolded protein response mechanisms in mouse model of multiple myeloma. Six groups of mice, including Ad-HSV-tk/GCV, Ad-IL-24, Ad-HSV-tk/IL-24, Ad-GFP, and positive and negative controls, were investigated, and each group was injected every 72 h. The tumor size was measured several times. The expression of LC3B evaluated through western blotting and ASK-1, CHOP, Caspase-3, and ATF-6 genes in the UPR and apoptosis pathways were also analyzed by the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method. The present results showed that the injection of Ad-HSV-tk/GCV, Ad-HSV-tk/IL-24, and metformin reduced the tumor size. The expression of LC3B was significantly higher in the treatment groups and positive control groups compared to the negative control group. The expression of CHOP, caspase-3, and ATF-6 genes was significantly higher in the Ad-IL-24 group compared to the other treatment groups. Besides, the ASK-1 expression was significantly lower in the Ad-IL-24 group as compared to the other groups. Overall, the results indicated that the presence of the HSV-tk gene in the adenovectors reduced the size of tumors and induced autophagy by triggering the expression of LC3B protein. The presence of the IL-24 might affect tumor growth but not as much the therapeutic effect of HSV-tk. Furthermore, the results indicated that co-administration of IL-24 and HSV-tk had no synergistic effect on tumor size control.
