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

purposeCurrent chemotherapeutics for treating locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are limited. Accordingly, the present in vitro study was conducted to evaluate the effects of treatment of STS cells with tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) applied as a single agent or in combination with a proteasome inhibitor, MG132. MATERIALS AND

methodsSensitivity to TRAIL and activity of TRAIL-induced apoptotic pathways were analyzed in four STS cell lines: HTB-82 (rhabdomyosarcoma), HT-1080 (fibrosarcoma), HTB-93 (synovial sarcoma), and HTB-94 (chondrosarcoma). Reduction of the dye dimethylthiazolyl 2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) was used to evaluate cytotoxic activity; western blots were used to evaluate TRAIL-induced apoptosis.

resultsTRAIL induced apoptosis in HTB-93 cells, but had little effect in HTB-82, HT-1080, or HTB-94 cells. Expression of TRAIL receptor-1 and -2 did not correlate with sensitivity to TRAIL. Co-incubation of cells with TRAIL and a proteasome inhibitor, MG132, augmented the apoptotic effect of TRAIL in both TRAIL-sensitive and TRAIL-resistant cells. This effect was due to up-regulation of TRAIL receptors and members of the pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family by MG132.

conclusionThese data show that combining TRAIL with MG132 enhances apoptosis and overcomes TRAIL resistance. This restoration of TRAIL sensitivity occurs through an increase in the expression of death receptor 5 and of pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family members such as BAX.
