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

introductionDefects in the apoptosis pathway limit the effectiveness of radiation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapy. BV6 is an antagonist of cIAP1 and XIAP, members of the inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) family. We investigated the potential of BV6 to sensitize NSCLC cell lines to radiation.

methodsHCC193 and H460 lung cancer cell lines were treated with BV6 to investigate the effects of drug administration on cell proliferation, apoptosis, inhibition of XIAP and cIAP1, and radiosensitivity. Subsequent immunoblotting and Hoechst staining were used to determine the role of apoptosis in radiosensitization. Finally, the pathway of apoptosis was characterized by Western blot analysis for cleaved caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-9 and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for TNF-α.

resultsHCC193 was found to be more sensitive than H460 to BV6-induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. BV6 significantly sensitized both cell lines to radiation (HCC193-DER = 1.38, p < 0.05 at 1 μM BV6; H460-DER = 1.42, p < 0.05 at 5 μM BV6), but a higher concentration of and longer incubation time with BV6 was necessary for H460 cells. The BV6-induced radiosensitization of HCC193 favored the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis, whereas that of H460 favored the intrinsic pathway.

conclusionsBV6, an IAP antagonist, significantly enhanced the radiosensitization of HCC193 and H460 cells in vitro. More research is warranted to test the mechanism of action of BV6 and to assess its potential in vivo and in the clinical setting.
