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

5-FU-based combinatory chemotherapeutic regimens have been routinely used for many years for the treatment of breast cancer patients. Recurrence and chemotherapeutic drug resistance are two of the most prominent factors that underpin the high mortality rates associated with most breast cancers (BC). Increasing evidence indicates that overexpression of ADAMs could correlate with cancer progression. However, the role of ADAMs in the chemoresistance of cancer cells has rarely been reported. In this study, we observed that 5-FU induces expression of the ADAM12 isoform ADAM12-L but not ADAM12-S in BC cells and in recurrent BC tissues. The overexpression of ADAM12-L in BC cells following 5-FU treatment results in the acquisition of resistance to 5-FU. ADAM12-L overexoression also resulted in increased levels of p-Akt but not p-ERK. These alterations enhanced BC cell growth and invasive abilities. Conversely, ADAM12 knockdown attenuated the levels of p-Akt and restored 5-FU sensitivity in 5-FU-resistant BC cells. ADAM12 knockdown also reduced BC cell survival and invasive abilities. These findings suggest that ADAM12-L mediates chemoresistance to 5-FU and 5-FU-induced recurrence of BC by enhancing PI3K/Akt signaling. The results of this study suggest that specific ADAM12-L inhibition could optimize 5-FU-based chemotherapy of BC, thereby preventing BC recurrence in patients.
