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

backgroundSmall bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare malignant tumor of gastrointestinal tract. Currently, there is no standard treatment approach for late-stage SBA, which lead to poor outcome and prognosis. Rapamycin is an immunosuppressive agent that has been reported to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells. However, whether rapamycin inhibit the growth of SBA remains to be investigated.

aimTo observe the inhibitory effect of rapamycin on small intestinal adenocarcinoma cells.

methodsMethylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay, colony formation assay, cell cycle analysis, and glycolysis assay were used to observe the phenotypic changes of rapamycin-treated HUTU 80 cells. RNA sequencing and untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) metabolomics were also used to find the potential targets of action of rapamycin in inhibiting HUTU 80 cells proliferation, and validate potential targets by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. The construction of a subcutaneous HUTU 80 xenograft in BALB/c nude mice was used to explore the tumor suppression effect of rapamycin.

resultsRapamycin inhibited HUTU 80 cell proliferation

conclusionDownregulation of mTOR/p70S6k/4E-BP1/HIF-1α signaling pathway activation, leading to decreased glycolysis and cell cycle arrest, may be the pivotal mechanism by which rapamycin inhibits SBA.
