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

Radiotherapy is widely used for treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study aimed to explore the role of Derlin-1 on the sensitivity of ESCC to radiotherapy and its underlying mechanism. We examined the clinical significance of Derlin-1 in 125 ESCC tissues. We found that Derlin-1 protein was higher in ESCC tissues than that in normal esophageal epithelial tissues. Derlin-1 overexpression was correlated with chemoradiotherapy resistance in ESCC patients and served an independent predictor for short overall survival. siRNA knockdown and plasmid transfection were carried out in ESCC cell lines. Derlin-1 depletion inhibited cell growth while its overexpression facilitated cell growth. Derlin-1 overexpression in Eca-109 cells dramatically enhanced its resistance to radiotherapy with decreased apoptosis rate. On the contrary, Derlin-1 depletion in TE-1 cell line showed the opposite effects. In addition, radioresistance conferred by Derlin-1 was attributed to its role of activating AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathway and reducing caspase3 cleavage. Blockage of AKT signaling attenuated the role of Derlin-1 on radioresistance. Furthermore, Derlin-1 could interact with PI3K p110α in ESCC cell lines. Taken together, Our data demonstrate that Derlin-1 overexpression predicts poor prognosis and protects ESCC from irradiation induced apoptosis through PI3K/AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathway. Derlin-1 may serve as a novel predictor for radiosentivity and a molecular target for ESCC.
