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

The present study was designed to explore the sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 cells to cisplatin after silencing the expression of TG-interacting factor (TGIF) protein. Cell viability was measured using an MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by the annexin V and dead cell assay and the Hoechst staining assay. Protein expression was analyzed using western blot analysis. A colony formation assay was also performed. It was observed that cisplatin reduced the expression of TGIF protein in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Silencing TGIF significantly suppressed the cell proliferation and colony formation in MDA-MB-231 cells with the treatment of cisplatin. Results indicated that silencing TGIF could dramatically increase the cisplatin-induced apoptosis rate in MDA-MB-231 cells. The expression of PARP and caspase-3 proteins was correlated with the effect that silencing TGIF enhanced cisplatin sensitivity in MDA-MB-231 cells. The present data showed that silencing TGIF promoted apoptotic sensitivity that was induced by cisplatin in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells and suggested that TGIF might be a therapeutic target for improving the chemotherapy response in triple-negative breast cancer.
