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

backgroundThe Na

methodsThe NHE1 expression levels were first evaluated using the online database Oncomine and were determined by RT-PCR and western blot in vitro and in vivo. Cell proliferation was assessed In vitro through a CCK-8 assay, and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. An in vivo analysis was performed in BALB/c nude mice, which were intraperitoneally injected with MCF-7/ADR cells.

resultsNHE1 levels were significantly higher in breast cancer tissue than adjacent tissue, as well as in resistant cancer cells compared to sensitive cells. Cariporide induced the apoptosis of MCF-7/ADR cells and was associated with the intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. Moreover, cariporide decreased MDR1 expression and activated cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-9, promoting caspase-independent apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, cariporide significantly improved doxorubicin sensitivity in a xenograft model, enhancing tumor growth attenuation and diminishing tumor volume.

conclusionsOur results demonstrate that cariporide significantly facilitates the sensitivity of breast cancer to doxorubicin both in vitro and in vivo. This finding suggests that NHE1 may be a novel adjuvant therapeutic candidate for the treatment of resistant breast cancer.
