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

backgroundSunitinib is one of the multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) at present. However, its clinical efficacy is limited by chemoresistance of RCC. Our previous study found that eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit D (EIF3D) was an oncogene in the development and progression of RCC but little is known about whether EIF3D participated in sunitinib resistance of RCC.

methodsThe expression of EIF3D in the tumor tissue specimen was detected by immunohistochemistry. The effect of EIF3D on sunitinib-resistance of RCC cells was evaluated by colony formation, IC50 proliferation and in vivo tumor growth assays. The interaction between EIF3D and glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) was assessed by Co-IP and Western blot assays. FINDING: EIF3D expression was found higher in 786-OR and ACHN-R cells with acquired sunitinib resistance than that in 786-O and ACHN cells sunitinib to sensitive. The EIF3D level was also up-regulated in sunitinib-chemoresistant tumor tissues compared with chemosensitive tumor tissues. Functional study showed that EIF3D knockdown decreased cell viability with sunitinib treatment. Mechanistical study demonstrated that EIF3D interacted with GRP78 and enhanced protein stability through blocking the ubiquitin-mediated-proteasome degradation of GRP78. GRP78 overexpression induced sunitinib resistance of RCC cells by triggering the unfolded protein response, whereas GRP78 silencing inhibited cell viability. Forced expression of GRP78 eliminated the inhibitory effect of EIF3D silencing on cell growth in vitro and in vivo.

interpretationour results indicate that EIF3D played an important role in sunitinib resistance of RCC cells, suggesting that it may prove to be a potential therapeutic target for RCC.
