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

Smac mimetic compounds (SMCs) potentiate TNFα-mediated cancer cell death by targeting the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins. In addition to TNFα, the tumor microenvironment is exposed to a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β. Here, we investigated the potential impact of IL-1β on SMC-mediated death of cancer cells. Synergy was seen in a subset of a diverse panel of 21 cancer cell lines to the combination of SMC and IL-1β treatment, which required IL-1β-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway. Elevated NF-κB activity resulted in the production of TNFα, which led to apoptosis dependent on caspase-8 and RIP1. In addition, concurrent silencing of cIAP1, cIAP2, and X-linked IAP by siRNA was most effective for triggering IL-1β-mediated cell death. Importantly, SMC-resistant cells that produced TNFα in response to IL-1β treatment were converted to an SMC-sensitive phenotype by c-FLIP knockdown. Reciprocally, ectopic expression of c-FLIP blocked cell death caused by combined SMC and IL-1β treatment in sensitive cancer cells. Together, our study indicates that a positive feed-forward loop by pro-inflammatory cytokines can be exploited by SMCs to induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
