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

background and purposeThe persistence of lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs) has been proposed to be the main factor responsible for the recurrence of lung cancer as they are highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We examined the cellular response of a human LCSC line to treatment with cisplatin, a DNA-damaging anticancer drug that is used extensively in the clinic. We compared the response to cisplatin of LCSCs and differentiated LCSCs (dLCSCs) by determining the viability of these cells, and their ability to accumulate cisplatin and to implement genomic and transcription-coupled DNA repair. We also investigated the transcription profiles of genes related to drug transport and DNA repair. KEY

resultsLCSCs were found to be more stem-like, and more resistant to cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity than dLCSCs, confirming their drug resistance properties. LCSCs accumulated less cisplatin intracellularly than dLCSCs and showed less DNA damage, potentially due to their ability to down-regulate AQP2 and CTR1. The results of the transcription-coupled repair of cisplatin-DNA cross-links indicated a higher level of repair of DNA damage in LCSCs than in dLCSCs. In addition, LCSCs showed a greater ability to repair cisplatin-DNA interstrand cross-links than dLCSCs; this involved the activation of various DNA repair pathways. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Our results further clarify the mechanism of cisplatin resistance in LCSCs in terms of reduced cisplatin uptake and enhanced ability to implement DNA repairs. These findings may aid in the design of the next-generation of platinum-based anticancer drugs.
