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

We sought to improve the understanding of oncogene-dependent and independent non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which could provide insight into mechanism of sensitivity and/or resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors or chemotherapeutics. NSCLC cell lines with different EGFR genotypes were used in this study; MTT assay and flow cytometry were applied to study the sensitivities of these cell lines to gefitinib and cisplatin. Western blot was performed to determine the expression levels of BIM and other Bcl-2 family proteins pre- and pro-treatment. Gefitinib provoked apoptosis of caspase activation via the intrinsic pathways and significantly up-regulated expression of BIM protein in drug-sensitive PC-9 cell line, but not resistant PC-9/BB4 cell line. The knockdown of BIM expression by RNA interference virtually eliminated gefitinib-induced cell killing in PC-9 cells in vitro. Cisplatin could induce apoptosis of the cell lines, including H1299, A549, PC-9, and PC-9/BB4 cells, but which was not associated with overexpression of BIM. BIM is involved in TKI-induced apoptosis in sensitive EGFR-mutant cell line. Down-regulation of BIM and resistance to gefitinib were both seen in the acquired resistant PC-9/BB4 cell line. The induction of BIM may have a role in the treatment of TKI-resistant tumors.
