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

Although many articles have uncovered that Wnt signaling is involved in radioresistance, the mechanism is rarely reported. Here we generated two radioresistant cells rECA109 and rKyse150 from parental esophageal cancer cells ECA109 and Kyse150. We then found that Wnt signaling activity was higher in radioresistant cells and was further activated upon ionizing radiation (IR) exposure. In addition, radioresistant cells acquired epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) properties and stem quality. Wnt signaling was then found to be involved in radioresistance by promoting DNA damage repair. In our present study, high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), a chromatin-associated protein, was firstly found to be transactivated by Wnt signaling and mediate Wnt-induced radioresistance. The role of HMGB1 in the regulation of DNA damage repair with the activation of DNA damage checkpoint response in response to IR was the main cause of HMGB1-induced radioresistance.
