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-based chemotherapy regimens serve a pivotal role in human cancer treatment. Nevertheless, treatment failure may occur if the cancer is inherently resistant to cisplatin or acquires a resistant phenotype during the course of treatment. Although cisplatin resistance can hinder the efficacy of cisplatin treatment for human cancer, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. The current study established a cisplatin-resistant human epithelial cancer cell line. Notably, differential upregulation of NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5) was identified in this resistant cell line. Furthermore, cisplatin treatment induced cancer cells to express NOX5 and cells that overexpressed NOX5 exhibited greater resistance to cisplatin via the activation of Akt. Treatment with curcumin may suppress NOX5 expression in cancer cells and enhance sensitivity to cisplatin treatment. In a xenograft model, a combined regimen of cisplatin with low-dose curcumin significantly reduced malignant tumor growth. These data demonstrate that curcumin has a chemosensitizing effect on cisplatin-resistant epithelial cancer types. Therefore, the use of curcumin in addition to a cisplatin-based treatment regimen may improve treatment outcomes in human patients with epithelial cancer.
