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

purposeThis study aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism mediating the cytotoxicity of axitinib, a selective inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), in sunitinib-resistant renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

methodsIn our previous study (Sakai et al. in BJU Int 112:E211-E220, 2013), a human RCC cell line, ACHN, resistant to sunitinib (ACHN/R), was developed from a parental cell line (ACHN/P). Differences in molecular phenotypes following treatment with sunitinib or axitinib between these two cell lines were compared.

resultsACHN/R showed an approximately fivefold higher IC50 of sunitinib than ACHN/P; however, there was no significant difference in the sensitivity to axitinib between these two cell lines. In ACHN/R, despite the lack of a difference in the phosphorylated (p)-Akt or STAT-3 expression between treatment with sunitinib and axitinib, the expression of p-p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and p-VEGFR-2 after treatment with axitinib was markedly down-regulated compared with those after treatment with sunitinib. Furthermore, additional treatment of ACHN/R with an inhibitor of MAPK kinase significantly enhanced the cytotoxic activity of sunitinib, but not that of axitinib. In vivo growth of ACHN/R in nude mice after treatment with axitinib was significantly inhibited compared with that following treatment with sunitinib, accompanying the marked inhibition of angiogenesis.

conclusionsAntitumor activity of axitinib in RCC cells even after the acquisition of resistance to sunitinib could be explained, at least in part, by the inactivation of p44/42 MAPK and VEGFR-2, which were persistently phosphorylated in sunitinib-resistant RCC cells under treatment with sunitinib.
