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

DNA topoisomerases are a class of enzymes that alter the topology of DNA and are targets of several anticancer drugs. Camptothecins (CPTs) are a relatively new family of compounds that specifically target topoisomerase I (Top1). These compounds "poison" Top1 by binding to the Top1-DNA complex in a manner that prevents the religation of DNA. Topotecan and irinotecan are two CPTs that are approved for the treatment of a variety of malignancies, including colorectal, ovarian, and small cell lung cancers, as well as myeloid malignancies. Although CPTs have proven to be effective anticancer drugs, resistance is still a critical clinical problem. The mechanisms underlying de novo and acquired clinical resistance to CPTs and the newer classes of Top1 poisons are unclear. However, based on preclinical studies, it is likely that clinical resistance to these drugs is the result of: (1) inadequate accumulation of drug in the tumor, (2) resistance-conferring alterations in Top1, or (3) alterations in the cellular response to the Top1-CPT interaction. This review will focus on the current knowledge regarding mechanisms of resistance to CPTs and other Top1-targeting drugs.
