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

Cisplatin (DDP)-based anticancer therapy is an important chemotherapeutic strategy for the treatment of colorectal cancer. However, its beneficial effect is largely compromised by adverse reactions, and more importantly, by the development of drug resistance. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the potential mechanism underlying the development of DDP resistance in colorectal cancer. Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been found to serve an important role in the host defense during cancer development. It has been suggested that IL-17 is key to promoting the development of resistance to DDP in several major types of cancer. However, the role of IL-17 in DDP resistance in colorectal cancer has not been extensively investigated. In the present study, it was observed that IL-17 was significantly upregulated in colorectal tumor samples, compared with the adjacent tissues. Furthermore, IL-17 was found to promote the viability of HCT116 colorectal cells treated with DDP, whilst blocking IL-17 signaling leading to HCT116 cell apoptosis. IL-17 was also shown to regulate the expression of several apoptosis-related proteins, including phosphorylated-protein kinase B (p-Akt), apoptosis regulator BAX (Bax), apoptosis regulator Bcl-2 (Bcl-2) and serine/threonine-protein kinase mTOR (mTOR). These findings indicated that IL-17 facilitates the development of DDP resistance in colorectal cancer by inhibiting cancer cell apoptosis through targeting p-Akt, Bax, Bcl-2 and mTOR. Overall, the findings of the present study suggest that a combination of DDP and an IL-17 inhibitor may prove to be a highly efficient strategy for colorectal cancer treatment.
