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

Multidrug resistance (MDR) typically leads to treatment failure, and is associated with disease progression of gastric cancer (GC). In the present study, a total of 15 aberrantly activated transcription factors (TFs) were detected in chemo-resistant GC cells using a TF Activation Profiling Plate Array. Among these TFs, hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-4α was significantly upregulated in multidrug-resistant GC cells (P=0.019). The overexpression of HNF-4α was able to cause resistance to multiple chemotherapeutics, whereas inhibition of HNF-4α appeared to reverse cancer cell resistance. Further studies demonstrated that HNF-4α had no clear influence on drug transportation; however, inhibition of drug-induced cell apoptosis occurred as B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) expression increased in GC cells. Additionally, immunohistochemistry demonstrated that HNF-4α was overexpressed in human GC tissues, and associated with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate the involvement of TFs in MDR in GC, and suggest that HNF-4α may enhance MDR in GC by regulating cell apoptosis and Bcl-2 expression.
