CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of MLL5 enhances apoptotic effect of cisplatin in HeLa cells
Article in EXCLI journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Mixed lineage leukemia 5 (MLL5) transactivates the expression of E6 and E7 oncogenes in cervical cancer cells. In this study, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9 system with the aim to target HPV-E6 and MLL5 to enhance apoptosis efficiency in HPV-18 positive HeLa cells and to improve chemotherapeutic efficacy of Cisplatin as the most common anticancer drug, used for cervical cancer. sgRNAs against MLL5 and E6 were designed and cloned into PX458 plasmid vector. Real-time PCR was used to determine knockout expression of MLL5 and E6 following, transfection with cloned plasmids. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated, using Dimethyl-thiazolyl diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and Annexin V flow cytometry. Cellular p53 level was measured, using enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Real-time PCR indicated the downregulation of E6 and MLL5 in the transfected cells. A significant increase in the accumulation of P53 was observed due to targeting MLL5 and E6 genes. MTT and apoptosis assays showed a significant decrease in cell viability and enhanced apoptosis rate of transfected cells. Combination therapy showed that targeting E6 and MLL5 enhanced apoptotic effect of Cisplatin in MLL5 knockout cells in a synergistic manner.
