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

Everolimus (RAD001) is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin used in combination with exemestane to treat hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer. However, not all patients are equally sensitive to RAD001 and certain patients develop resistance. Therefore, the present study analyzed the mechanisms involved in the resistance of breast cancer cells to RAD001 in order to identify a potential tool to overcome it. The effects of RAD001 on the inhibition of cell viability, on the induction of apoptosis and autophagy and on the regulation of survivin, an anti-apoptotic protein, were evaluated in two breast cancer cell lines: BT474 (luminal B) and MCF7 (luminal A). RAD001 was demonstrated to induce autophagy in the two cell lines at following a short period of treatment (4 h) and to induce apoptosis exclusively in BT474 cells following longer periods of treatment (48 h). RAD001 induced the downregulation of survivin in BT474 cells and its upregulation in MCF7 cells. Consequently, inhibiting survivin with YM155 resulted in the acquired resistance of MCF7 cells to RAD001 being reverted, restoring RAD001-induced apoptosis. These data demonstrated that RAD001 exerted anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on breast cancer cells, but that these effects were repressed by the simultaneous up-regulation of survivin. Finally, the results demonstrated that inhibiting the expression of survivin resulted in the restoration of the anti-neoplastic activity of RAD001.
