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

Resistance of cancer cells to radiotherapy is a major clinical problem in cancer treatment. Therefore, understanding the molecular basis of cellular resistance to radiotherapy and identification of novel targets are essential for improving treatment efficacy for cancer patients. Our previous studies have demonstrated a significant role of ERp29 in breast cancer cell survival against doxorubicin-induced genotoxic stress. We here reported that ERp29 expression in the triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells significantly increased cell survival against ionizing radiation. Methylation PCR array analysis identified that ERp29 expression increased promoter hypomethylation of the DNA repair gene, O(6)-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT), by downregulating DNA methyltransferase 1. Knockdown of MGMT in the ERp29-transfected cancer cells increased radiosensitivity, leading to a decreased post-irradiation survival. In addition, radiation treatment in the MGMT-knockdown cells elevated phosphorylation of γ-H2AX and cleavage of caspase 3, indicating that depletion of MGMT facilitates DNA double strands breaks and increases cell apoptosis. Hence, our studies prove a novel function of ERp29\MGMT in cancer cell survival against radiation. Targeting ERp29\MGMT axis may be useful for providing better treatment efficacy in combination with radiotherapy in breast cancer.
