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

Chemotherapeutic insensitivity is one of key obstacles to effectively treating muscle invasive bladder cancer. 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) has been identified as a tumor suppressive agent in various types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to identify the effects of 5-Aza-CdR on the mitomycin-C (MMC) chemosensitivity of T24 bladder cancer cells and investigate the underlying mechanisms. T24 cells were treated with a combination of MMC and 5-Aza-CdR at various concentrations. The rates of proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by an MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression of drug resistance-associated proteins, including P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), and autophagy-associated proteins, including beclin 1, nucleoporin 62 (p62) and autophagy protein 5 (ATG5) were detected with western blotting. Treatment with 5-Aza-CdR significantly promoted the MMC chemosensitivity of T24 cells. The proliferation of T24 cells was significantly inhibited with increasing 5-Aza-CdR concentration, whereas apoptosis was significantly increased. This was associated with the decreased expression of P-gp, MRP1, beclin 1, p62 and ATG5. In conclusion, 5-Aza-CdR enhanced MMC chemosensitivity in bladder cancer T24 cells, which may be caused by the suppression of drug resistance- and autophagy-associated proteins.
