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 purpose5-fluorouracil (5FU) and its prodrug, capecitabine, can damage endothelial cells, whilst endothelial integrity is preserved by glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). Here, we studied the effect of 5FU on endothelial senescence and whether GLP-1 antagonizes it. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: EA.hy926 cells were exposed to 5FU or sera from patients taking capecitabine, with or without pre-incubation with GLP-1. Senescence was identified by expression of senescence-associated β-galactosidase and p16 KEY

resultsBoth 5FU and sera from capecitabine-treated patients stimulated endothelial cell senescence. 5FU-elicited senescence occurred via activation of p38 and JNK, and was associated with decreased eNOS and SIRT-1 levels. Furthermore, 5FU up-regulated VCAM1 and TYMP (encodes enzyme activating capecitabine and 5FU), and sVCAM-1 and CD146 concentrations were higher after than before capecitabine chemotherapy. A non-significant trend for higher ICAM1 levels was also observed. GLP-1 counteracted 5FU-initiated senescence and reduced eNOS and SIRT-1 expression, this protection being mediated by GLP-1 receptor, ERK1/2 and, possibly, PKA and PI3K. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: 5FU causes endothelial cell senescence and dysfunction, which may contribute to its cardiovascular side effects. 5FU-triggered senescence was prevented by GLP-1, raising the possibility of using GLP-1 analogues and degradation inhibitors to treat 5FU and capecitabine vascular toxicity.
