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

Chemotherapeutic interventions in cancer patients are limited by the appearance of chemoresistance. For instance, advanced lung and ovarian cancer patients relapse invariably after few cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy. Disseminated tumors are characterized by genetic instability/heterogeneity, thus containing or generating a repertoire of resistant subpopulations. At the cellular level, altered drug uptake, efflux, and metabolization, as well as modifications of drug targets, increased repair, and decreased cell death complement the limited perfusion and adverse hypoxic/acidic extracellular conditions at the tumor level in retaining cancer cell viability. Similarly, targeted therapy is rendered ineffective by mutations of the specific target protein within a few months or years of administration. Assessment of the expression profiles of resistant tumor cells revealed extensive changes in numerous pathways affecting hundreds of genes. Therefore, reversal of drug resistance will require individual profiles of drug resistance mediators and the combination of several specific drugs, targeting critical components to provide new therapeutic options.
