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

backgroundDoxorubicin is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs for breast cancer; however, its use is limited by drug resistance and side effects. We hypothesized that adding FTY720, a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor functional antagonist, to doxorubicin would potentiate its effects by suppression of drug-induced inflammation. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Omnibus data sets, and National Cancer Institute-60 panel were used for gene expressions and gene set enrichment analysis. E0771 syngeneic mammary tumor cells were used. OB/OB mice fed with western high-fat diet were used as an obesity model.

resultsSTAT3 expression was significantly increased after doxorubicin treatment in human breast cancer that implicates that doxorubicin evokes inflammation. Expression of sphingosine kinase 1, the enzyme that produces S1P and links inflammation and cancer, tended to be higher in doxorubicin-resistant human cancer and cell lines. In a murine breast cancer model, sphingosine kinase 1, S1P receptor 1, interleukin 6, and STAT3 were overexpressed in the doxorubicin-treated group, whereas all of them were significantly suppressed with addition of FTY720. Combination therapy synergistically suppressed cancer growth both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, combination therapy showed higher efficacy in an obesity breast cancer model, where high body mass index demonstrated trends toward worse disease-free and overall survival, and high-serum S1P levels in human patients and volunteers.

conclusionsWe found that FTY720 enhanced the efficacy of doxorubicin by suppression of drug-induced inflammation, and combination therapy showed stronger effect in obesity-related breast cancer.
