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

Chemotherapy resistance remains a major clinical problem in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Proteasome inhibitors are able to induce apoptosis in chemotherapy-resistant B-CLL cells in vitro. Exposure of B-CLL cells to the proteasome inhibitors, MG132 and lactacystin, resulted in inhibition of proteasomal activity within 30 min of treatment and was accompanied by an increase in the level of ubiquitinated proteins. Proteasome inhibitors did not alter the levels of expression of the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, Bax and Bid, prior to the onset of apoptosis. Instead, proteasome inhibitors induced a caspase-independent conformational change in Bax (as shown by a conformation-specific Bax antibody) and its translocation to mitochondria, resulting in mitochondrial perturbation, as evidenced by loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c release. Similar conformational change and subcellular localization of Bax were observed during apoptosis induced with fludarabine, chlorambucil and prednisolone. These data suggest that alteration of Bax conformation and its redistribution to mitochondria are common and early features of B-CLL apoptosis in response to proteasome inhibitors and other chemotherapeutic agents.
