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

Development of resistance to doxorubicin-based chemotherapy limits curative effect in breast cancer (BC). N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), a nucleolar protein involved in histone acetylation, is overexpressed in several cancers. We investigated whether NAT10 is involved in doxorubicin resistance in BC and explored the potential mechanisms. Remodelin, a NAT10 inhibitor, and a NAT10 small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used to inhibit NAT10; both remodelin and the NAT10 siRNA reduced cell viability and attenuated doxorubicin resistance in four BC cell lines. Remodelin and doxorubicin synergistically reduced cell viability, though knockdown of NAT10 and remodelin did not exert a synergistic effect in doxorubicin-treated cells. Remodelin upregulated E-cadherin and downregulated vimentin, canonical markers of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), whereas doxorubicin had the opposite effects. Moreover, both remodelin and knockdown of NAT10 reversed the doxorubicin-induced EMT. Finally, when the EMT was blocked using a siRNA targeting Twist, remodelin could not alleviate doxorubicin resistance. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that inhibition of NAT10 attenuates doxorubicin resistance by reversing the EMT in BC. This represents a novel mechanism of doxorubicin resistance in BC and indicates remodelin may have potential clinical value to increase the efficacy of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy in BC.
