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

Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Chemotherapy has improved long-term survival of patients with gastric cancer. Unfortunately, cancer readily develops resistance to apoptosis-inducing agents. New mechanisms, inducing caspase-independent paraptosis-like cell death in cancer cells is presently emerging as a potential direction. We previously developed a curcumin analog B63 as an anti-cancer agent in pre-clinical evaluation. In the present study, we evaluated the effect and mechanism of B63 on gastric cancer cells. Our studies show that B63 targets TrxR1 protein and increases cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, which results in halting gastric cancer cells and inducing caspase-independent paraptotic modes of death. The paraptosis induced by B63 was mediated by ROS-mediated ER stress and MAPK activation. Either overexpression of TrxR1 or suppression of ROS normalized B63-induced paraptosis in gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, B63 caused paraptosis in 5-fluorouracil-resistant gastric cancer cells, and B63 treatment reduced the growth of gastric cancer xenografts, which was associated with increased ROS and paraptosis. Collectively, our findings provide a novel strategy for the treatment of gastric cancer by utilizing TrxR1-mediated oxidative stress generation and subsequent cell paraptosis.
