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

backgroundNeoadjuvant radiotherapy is a commonly used method for the current standard-of-care for most patients with rectal cancer, when the effects of radioresistance are limited. The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, cytoplasmic 1 (PITPNC1), a lipid-metabolism-related gene, has previously been proved to manifest pro-cancer effects in multiple types of cancer. However, whether PITPNC1 plays a role for developing radioresistance in rectal cancer patients is still unknown. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of PITPNC1 in rectal cancer radioresistance.

methodsPatient-derived tissue were used to detect the difference in the expression level of PITPNC1 between radioresistant and radiosensitive patients. Bioinformatic analyses of high-throughput gene expression data were applied to uncover the correlations between PITPNC1 level and oxidative stress. Two rectal cancer cell lines, SW620, and HCT116, were selected

resultsPITPNC1 is highly expressed in radioresistant patient-derived rectal cancer tissues compared to radiosensitive tissue; therefore, PITPNC1 inhibits the generation of ROS and improves the extent of radioresistance of rectal cancer cell lines and then inhibits apoptosis. Knocking down PITPNC1 facilitates the production of ROS while application of the ROS scavenger, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), could reverse this effect.

conclusionsPITPNC1 fuels radioresistance of rectal cancer via the inhibition of ROS generation.
