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

backgroundPreoperative chemoradiation combined with surgery has been of focus recently in order to improve prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. Finding biological markers that may assist in predicting the therapeutic effect of chemoradiation may benefit the treatment effect. In this study, the role of RUNX3 in the formation of cisplatin resistance in ESCC was examined.

methodsThe study enrolled 103 stage IIa-IIIb ESCC patients who had undergone esophagectomy. RUNX3 expression in ESCC tissue was detected.

resultsA higher expression of RUNX3 in ESCC patients correlated with a more sensitive response to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. A consistently lower expression of RUNX3 was found in the ESCC tissues of patients who agreed to perioperative chemotherapy compared with patients who had undergone no preoperative treatment. A lower RUNX3 expression in cisplatin-resistant ESCC cell lines, Eca109 and TE-1, was observed compared with parental cell lines. Heterologous RUNX3 expression significantly suppressed cisplatin resistance in Eca109 and TE-1, both in vitro and vivo. Meanwhile, heterologous RUNX3 expression could inhibit growth and induce apoptosis in cisplatin resistant Eca109 and TE-1 cell lines in vitro. Remarkable inhibition of the Akt pathway was observed in heterologous RUNX3 expression in Eca109 and TE-1. Silencing Akt1 could reverse cisplatin resistance in Eca109 and TE-1.

conclusionOur results confirmed that a loss of RUNX3 in ESCC may contribute to cisplatin-resistance. RUNX3 could reverse cisplatin resistance via suppression of the Akt pathway in ESCC patients.
