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

backgroundHypoxia-mediated chemoresistance has been regarded as an important obstacle in the development of cancer treatment. Knockdown of krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) was reported to inhibit hypoxia-induced cell survival and promote cell apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells via direct regulation of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression. However, the roles of KLF5 in the development of hypoxia-induced cisplatin (DDP) resistance and its underlying mechanism in NSCLC cells remain to be further elucidated.

methodsWestern blot was performed to determine the protein levels of KLF5, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and HIF-1α in treated NSCLC cells. Cell survival was examined by MTT assay. The effect of KLF5 knockdown on hypoxia-induced glycolysis was assessed by measuring glucose consumption and lactate production. The effect of KLF5 knockdown on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway was analyzed by western blot.

resultsHypoxia upregulated the expression of KLF5 in NSCLC cells. KLF5 knockdown suppressed hypoxia-induced DDP resistance in NSCLC cells, as demonstrated by the increased cytotoxic effects of DDP and reduced P-gp expression in NSCLC cells in hypoxia. Moreover, KLF5 knockdown inhibited hypoxia-induced HIF-1α expression and glycolysis, and KLF5 knockdown suppressed hypoxia-induced DDP resistance by inhibiting HIF-1α-dependent glycolysis in NSCLC cells. Furthermore, KLF5 knockdown suppressed hypoxia-induced activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in NSCLC cells and KLF5 overexpression promoted hypoxia-induced DDP resistance in NSCLC cells through activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

conclusionsKLF5 knockdown could suppress hypoxia-induced DDP resistance, and its mechanism may be due to the inhibition of HIF-1α-dependent glycolysis via inactivation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
