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

The sulfated glycolipid PG545 shows promising antitumor activity in various cancers. This study was conducted to explore the effects and the mechanism of PG545 action in endometrial cancer (EC). PG545 exhibited strong synergy as assessed by the Chou-Talalay-Method in vitro when combined with cisplatin, or paclitaxel in both type I (Hec1B) and type II (ARK2) EC cell lines. While PG545 showed antitumor activity as monotherapy, a combination of PG545 with paclitaxel and cisplatin was highly effective in reducing the tumor burden and significantly prolonged survival of both Hec1B and ARK2 xenograft bearing mice. Mechanistically, PG545 elicits ER stress as an early response with resultant induction of autophagy. Our data demonstrated an increase in pERK, Bip/Grp78, IRE1α, Calnexin and CHOP/GADD153 within 6-24 hrs of PG545 treatment in EC cells. In parallel, PG545 also blocked FGF2 and HB-EGF mediated signaling in EC cells. Moreover, melatonin-mediated ER stress inhibition reduced PG545-mediated autophagy and PG545 in combination with cisplatin further heightened this stress response. Collectively these data indicate that PG545 exhibits strong synergistic effects with chemotherapeutics in vitro and showed promising antitumor activity in vivo. Our preclinical data indicates that in future studies PG545 can be a useful adjunct to chemotherapy in endometrial cancer.
