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

Paclitaxel is utilized as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen for the majority of advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma. However, whether paclitaxel could suppress cancer progression through modulating RNA alternative splicing remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrated the effects of paclitaxel on cell proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Mechanistically, paclitaxel leads to transcriptional alteration of networks involved in DNA replication and repair, chromosome segregation, chromatin silencing at rDNA, and mitosis at the transcriptional level. Moreover, paclitaxel regulates a number of cancer-associated RNA alternative splicing events, including genes involved in cellular response to DNA damage stimulus, preassembly of GPI anchor in ER membrane, transcription, and DNA repair. In particular, paclitaxel modulates the splicing of ECT2, a key factor involved in the regulation of cytokinesis. Briefly, paclitaxel favors the production of ECT2-S, the short splicing isoforms of ECT2, thereby inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. Our study provides mechanistic insights of paclitaxel on RNA alternative splicing regulation, thus to offer a potential novel route for paclitaxel to inhibit cancer progression.
