Anti-tumor activity of a recombinant soluble Fzd7 decoy receptor in human gastric and colon cancer cells.

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.
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
Objectives: Frizzled-7, the most common receptor of the Wnt signaling pathway, was significantly over-expressed in gastric (GC) and colorectal (CRC) cancers and stimulated tumorigenesis. The extracellular domain of Fzd7 (sFzd7) as a decoy receptor, could competitively bound with ligands and antagonize the interaction between Fzd7 receptors and Wnt ligands. Materials and Methods: We expressed and purified the extracellular region of Fzd7 including cysteine-rich domain (33 aa-185 aa) from Results: After three days of treatment with sFzd7, the viability of AGS and SW480 cell lines was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, sFzd7 at concentrations of 10 and 20 ug/ml increased the rate of apoptosis. Especially at the concentration of 20 ug/ml, the apoptosis rate was remarkably high in AGS (P-value= 0.003) and SW480 cells ( Conclusion: sFzd7 decoy receptor inhibits tumor cell progression by attenuating the Wnt pathway through inhibiting Fzd7 receptors and Wnt ligand interaction. Hence, sFzd7 can be proposed as a candidate therapy for GC and CRC cells with high levels of Fzd7 expression.
