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

introductionThe efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents in killing cancer cells is mainly attributed to the induction of apoptosis. However, the tremendous efforts on enhancing apoptosis-related mechanisms have only moderately improved lung cancer chemotherapy, suggesting that other cell death mechanisms such as necroptosis could be involved. In this study, we investigated the role of the necroptosis pathway in the responsiveness of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to chemotherapy.

methodsIn vitro cell culture and in vivo xenograft tumor therapy models and clinical sample studies are combined in studying the role of necroptosis in chemotherapy and mechanism of necroptosis suppression involving RIP3 expression regulation.

resultsWhile chemotherapeutic drugs were able to induce necroptotic cell death, this pathway was suppressed in lung cancer cells at least partly through downregulation of RIP3 expression. Ectopic RIP3 expression significantly sensitized lung cancer cells to the cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs such as cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, and adriamycin. In addition, RIP3 suppression was associated with RIP3 promoter methylation, and demethylation partly restored RIP3 expression and increased chemotherapeutic-induced necroptotic cell death. In a xenograft tumor therapy model, ectopic RIP3 expression significantly sensitized anticancer activity of cisplatin in vivo. Furthermore, lower RIP3 expression was associated with worse chemotherapy response in NSCLC patients.

conclusionOur results indicate that the necroptosis pathway is suppressed in lung cancer through RIP3 promoter methylation, and reactivating this pathway should be exploited for improving lung cancer chemotherapy.
