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

One of the most challenging aspects of lung cancer therapy is the rapid acquisition of multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype. One effective approach would be to identify and downregulate resistance-causing genes in tumors using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic challenge. After identifying the overexpressed resistance-related antiapoptotic genes (survivin and bcl-2) in cisplatin-resistant cells, the siRNA sequences were designed and screened to select the most efficacious candidates. Modifications were introduced in them to minimize off-target effects. Subsequently, the combination of siRNA and cisplatin that gave the maximum synergy was identified in resistant cells. We then demonstrated that the combination treatment of the selected siRNAs and cisplatin encapsulated in CD44-targeting hyaluronic acid (HA)-based self-assembling nanosystems reversed the resistance to cisplatin and delayed the tumor growth significantly (growth inhibition increased from 30 to 60%) in cisplatin-resistant tumors. In addition, no abnormalities in body weights, liver enzyme levels or histopathology of liver/spleen tissues were observed in any of the treatment groups during the study period. Overall, we demonstrate that the combination of siRNA-mediated gene-silencing strategy with chemotherapeutic agents constitutes a valuable and safe approach for the treatment of MDR tumors.Molecular Therapy-Nucleic Acids (2013) 2, e110; doi:10.1038/mtna.2013.29; published online 30 July 2013.
