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

Apoptosis is a genetically programmed, physiological method of cell destruction. A variety of genes are now recognised as positive or negative regulators of this process. Expression of inducible heat shock proteins (hsp) is known to correlate with increased resistance to apoptosis induced by a range of diverse cytotoxic agents and has been implicated in chemotherapeutic resistance of tumours and carcinogenesis. Intensive research on apoptosis over the past number of years has provided significant insights into the mechanisms and molecular events that occur during this process. The modulatory effects of hsps on apoptosis are well documented, however, the mechanisms of hsp-mediated protection against apoptosis remain to be fully defined, although several hypotheses have been proposed. Elucidation of these mechanisms should reveal novel targets for manipulating the sensitivity of leukaemic cells to therapy. This review aims to explain the currently understood process of apoptosis and the effects of hsps on this process. Several proposed mechanisms for hsp protection against apoptosis and the therapeutic implications of hsps in leukaemia are also discussed.
