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

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) remains a challenging disease to treat in adults because of the high rates of relapse and refractory. Bortezomib, as a proteasome inhibitor, exerts obvious cytotoxicity against ALL cells and increases the sensitivity of ALL cells to conventional chemotherapeutic agents. We observed that bortezomib inhibited proliferation, induced apoptosis, arrested the cell cycle and induced autophagy in the Nalm-6 cell line and CD34(+) primary cells. Additionally, we demonstrated that bortezomib promoted the disruption of the Bcl-2/Beclin-1 complex and increased the formation of the Beclin-1/PI3KC3 complex, leading to the initiation of autophagy. Autophagy inhibitors were employed in this study, and we found that autophagy inhibitors enhanced the anti-ALL activity of bortezomib. Taken together, these results revealed that autophagy protected B-ALL cells against the cytotoxicity of bortezomib and, in combination with autophagy inhibitors, can enhance the anticancer effects of bortezomib.
