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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of platinum-based drugs on nuclear-factor erythroid2 like 2 (NRF2) signaling in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines with or without Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) mutations and to determine the role of NRF2 and KEAP1 on platinum-based drug treatment.

methodsWe used real-time PCR to assess relative mRNA expression and used western blotting and immunofluorescence assays to assess protein expression. Small interfering RNA and shuttle plasmids were used to modulate the expression of NRF2, wild-type KEAP1, and mutant KEAP1. Drug sensitivity to platinum-based drugs was evaluated with Cell Count Kit-8.

resultsWe found that platinum-based therapies modified the NRF2 signaling pathway differently in KEAP1-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines compared with wild-type KEAP1 cell lines. The reactive degree of NRF2 signaling also varies between nedaplatin and cisplatin. The modification of NRF2 or KEAP1 expression in NSCLC cell lines disrupted downstream gene expression and cell sensitivity to platinum-based drugs. Finally, gene expression data retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) consortium indicated that KEAP1 mutation significantly affects NRF2 signaling activity in patients with NSCLC.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that NRF2 signaling plays an indispensable role in NSCLC cell sensitivity to platinum-based treatments and provides a rationale for using NRF2 as a specific biomarker for predicting which patients will be most likely to benefit from platinum-based treatment.
