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

Melanoma cells employ several survival strategies, including induction of the unfolded protein response, which mediates resistance to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis. Activation of oncogenes specifically suppresses ER stress-induced apoptosis, while upregulation of ER chaperone proteins and antiapoptotic BCL-2 family members increases the protein folding capacity of the cell and the threshold for the induction of ER stress-induced apoptosis, respectively. Modulation of unfolded protein response signaling, inhibition of the protein folding machinery and/or active induction of ER stress may thus represent potential strategies for the therapeutic management of melanoma. To this aim, the present article focuses on the current understanding of how melanoma cells avoid or overcome ER stress-induced apoptosis, as well as therapeutic strategies through which to harness ER stress for therapeutic benefit.
