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

Paclitaxel (PTX) is broadly considered the drug of choice for treating human esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). However, PTX resistance often ultimately leads to treatment failure. stathmin, or Op18, is a ubiquitously expressed 19-kDa cytosolic phosphoprotein that can integrate various cellular regulatory signals. stathmin overexpression could lead to resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. In this study we investigated the effect of stathmin gene silencing, using small interfering RNA (stathmin siRNA), on the efficacy of PTX in ESCC. Transfection of stathmin siRNA could significantly inhibit stathmin mRNA and protein levels in ESCC cell lines EC9706 and Eca-109. The silencing of stathmin combined with PTX significantly inhibited the proliferation of EC9706 and Eca-109 cells, with a significantly higher proportion of cells at G2/M phase and this antiproliferative effect was accompanied by an increase in apoptosis rates and morphology changes of EC9706 and Eca-109. Thus, combined chemotherapeutic agent PTX and stathmin siRNA could potentially enhance the therapeutic outcomes of PTX in treating ESCC.
