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

Laryngeal carcinoma is a type of head and neck carcinoma with a high incidence and mortality. Chemotherapy treatments of human laryngeal carcinoma may fail due to the development of chemoresistance. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP-3) has been shown to be implicated in a number of pathological processes typical for cancer. The present study aims to investigate the involvement of TIMP-3 in the chemoresistance of laryngeal carcinoma. We showed that TIMP-3 expression was significantly decreased in chemoresistant laryngeal carcinoma tissues compared with chemosensitivity tissues. Patients with low TIMP-3 expression exhibited poorer overall survival than those with high TIMP-3 expression. Moreover, cisplatin-resistant Hep-2 cells (Hep-2/R) were associated with the inhibition of mitochondrial membrane potential (MtMP) depolarization after cisplatin challenge. In addition, cisplatin resulted in a more pronounced mitochondrial cytochrome c release into the cytoplasm in Hep-2 cells than in their resistant variants. Overexpression of TIMP-3 by an adenovirus encoding TIMP-3 cDNA remarkably enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis, cytochrome c release, and caspase activation in Hep-2/R cells, thereby sensitizing cancer cells to cisplatin. On the other hand, downregulation of TIMP-3 markedly inhibited cisplatin-induced apoptosis in Hep-2 cells through attenuating mitochondria-dependent pathway activation. Taken together, these results demonstrate that decreased TIMP-3 expression may contribute to cisplatin resistance via inhibition of mitochondria-dependent apoptosis, indicating that forced TIMP-3 expression may be a useful strategy to improve the efficacy of cisplatin to treat laryngeal carcinoma.
