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

The development of acquired resistance to chemotherapy is a major obstacle in the successful treatment of cancer. In breast cancer cells, B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xL) is involved in the development of resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents; therefore, preliminary biological prediction was performed to identify a putative binding site for let-7b in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of the Bcl-xL gene and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within this binding region. The present study investigated the association between the SNP rs3208684 A>C and chemotherapeutic agent resistance in breast cancer cells. The data indicated that let-7b negatively regulates the expression of Bcl-xL and appears to sensitize MCF-7 cells to the chemotherapeutic agents 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and doxorubicin. Furthermore, the SNP rs3208684 A>C was demonstrated to enhance Bcl-xL protein expression by disrupting the binding of let-7b to the 3'-UTR of Bcl-xL and, in MCF-7 cells, overexpression of let-7b in the presence of a mutant Bcl-xL 3'-UTR (C allele) significantly increased 5-FU and doxorubicin resistance. Thus, the results of the present study demonstrate that the SNP rs3208684 A>C may upregulate Bcl-xL protein expression and enhance the resistance of the MCF-7 cells to 5-FU and doxorubicin by decreasing the binding of let-7b to the 3'-UTR of Bcl-xL.
