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

Alternations of environment signals such as neurotrophins may be the basis for malignant transformation of retinoblastoma (Rb), the most common primary intraocular malignancy in children. The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to decrease the chemosensitivity of Rb cells to the common chemotherapeutic agents and to explore the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in such cellular process. The results showed that BDNF could induce higher expression of HIF-1α via activation of TrkB in human Y-79 retinoblastoma cells, which consequently contributed to its effect against chemotherapeutic agent-induced cytotoxicity and cell apoptosis. However, this protective effect could be potently reversed by knockdown of HIF-1α. Furthermore, BDNF strikingly prevented chemotherapeutic agent-induced alternations of apoptosis-related molecules, which could also be attenuated by silencing HIF-1α. Therefore, our findings demonstrated that BDNF could contribute to chemoresistance of Rb via modulation of HIF-1α expression, indicating that targeting at the BDNF-TrkB/HIF-1α signaling pathway might be a promising strategy for the treatment of retinoblastoma in the future.
