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, a tightly controlled multi-step mechanism of cell death, is important for anti-cancer therapy-based elimination of tumor cells. However, this process is not always efficient. Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells display different susceptibility to undergo apoptosis induced by anticancer treatment. In contrast to SCLC, NSCLC cells are cross-resistant to a broad spectrum of apoptotic stimuli, including receptor stimulation, cytotoxic drugs and gamma-radiation. Since resistance of tumor cells to treatment often accounts for the failure of traditional forms of cancer therapy, in the present study attempts to find a potent broad-range apoptosis inductor, which can kill therapy-resistant NSCLC cells were undertaken and the mechanism of apoptosis induction by this drug was investigated in detail. We found that staurosporine (STS) had cell killing effect on both types of lung carcinomas. Release of cytochrome c, activation of apical and effector caspases followed by cleavage of their nuclear substrates and morphological changes specific for apoptosis were observed in STS-treated cells. In contrast to treatment with radiation or chemotherapy drugs, STS induces mitochondrial dysfunction followed by translocation of AIF into the nuclei. These events preceded the activation of nuclear apoptosis. Thus, in lung carcinomas two cell death pathways, caspase-dependent and caspase-independent, coexist. In NSCLC cells, where the caspase-dependent pathway is less efficient, the triggering of an AIF-mediated caspase-independent mechanism circumvents the resistance of these cells to treatment.
