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

Oncolytic virus is an attractive anticancer agent that selectively lyses cancer through targeting cancer cells rather than normal cells. Although M1 virus is effective against several cancer types, certain cancer cells present low sensitivity to it. Here we identified that most of the components in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway are downregulated after M1 virus infection. Further functional studies illustrate that mevalonate/protein farnesylation/ras homolog family member Q (RHOQ) axis inhibits M1 virus replication. Further transcriptome analysis shows that RHOQ knockdown obviously suppresses Rab GTPase and ATP-mediated membrane transporter system, which may mediate the antiviral effect of RHOQ. Based on this, inhibition of the above pathway significantly enhances the anticancer potency of M1 virus in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo. Our research provides an intriguing strategy for the rational combination of M1 virus with farnesyl transferase inhibitors to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
