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

Anti-tumor activity of antizyme which targets the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) required for cell growth and transformation Cell proliferation and transformation induced by growth factor stimulation or by carcinogens, viruses, or oncogenes are characterized by an associated increase in polyamine levels, which is mediated by increased polyamine biosynthesis and enhanced uptake of polyamines. Polyamine biosynthesis is catalyzed particularly, in the level of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). The elevation of cellular polyamine levels on the other hand accelerates the induction of ornithine decarboxylase antizyme (antizyme), which is involved not only in ODC-degradation, but in the negative regulation of polyamine transport. Taking advantage of these characteristics of antizyme, the potential of antizyme as a factor having anti-cell growth and anti-tumor activity was investigated. We show that antizyme can induce cell death associated with a rapid decline of intracellular polyamine contents. The possible anti-tumor activities of ectopically expressed antizyme were tested in p21H-ras (Val 12)-transformed NIH3T3 cells and several human malignant cell lines including a line with loss of p53 expression, and they were shown to be as sensitive as nontransformed NIH3T3 cells in vitro. The in vivo anti-tumor activity was also tested using nude mice inoculated with H-ras transformed NIH3T3 cells that had been transfected with inducible antizyme expression vector and the results showed that antizyme expression in vivo blocks tumor formation in these mice. These results suggest that ectopic antizyme expression is of possible therapeutic benefit in the treatment of cancer, which is mediated by ODC inactivation and intracellular polyamine depletion.
