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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a kind of head-neck malignant tumor derived from the nasopharyngeal epithelium and is mainly prevalent in Southern China and Southeast Asia countries. Cisplatin (DDP) provides the first-line therapeutic administration in NPC patients. However, chemoresistance has been a main barrier and caused bad treatment outcome in NPC therapy. To understand the molecular mechanism of acquired resistance to DDP, multiple methods were performed to examine the morphocytology and molecular changes in DDP-resistant NPC cells. We found that drug resistance cells displayed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) characteristics. DDP-resistant NPC cells exhibited enhanced migration and invasion potential. Moreover, overexpression of TAZ, one key gene in Hippo pathway, is closely associated with the DDP resistance of NPC cells and its EMT properties. Depletion of TAZ in DDP-resistant cells reversed EMT phenotypes to MET characteristics and restored chemosensitivity of DDP-resistant cells to DDP treatment. These results suggest that inactivation of TAZ could be a promising approach for the treatment of NPC patients.
