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

BACKGROUND Platinum plus paclitaxel is a first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Platinum resistance is a hot topic for many scholars, but drug resistance caused by paclitaxel is also a topic of concern. Currently, scholars believe that inhibition of MAPK signaling pathway may be an effective way to reverse the drug resistance of tumor paclitaxel. MATERIAL AND METHODS A2780/Taxol cells or nude mice were divided into 8 groups: control group, OCT (octreotide) group, OC (octreotide+cyclosomatostatin) group, PTX (paclitaxel) group, PO (paclitaxel+octreotide) group, POC (paclitaxel+octreotide+cyclosomatostatin) group, P-O (octreotide-paclitaxel conjugate) group, and P-OC (octreotide-paclitaxel conjugate+cyclosomatostatin) group. The phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK and the expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were determined by western blot. Flow cytometry was used to discover the apoptosis of A2780/Taxol cells and xenografts. The expression of class III beta-tubulin was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Octreotide-paclitaxel conjugate inhibited phosphorylation of the p38MAPK signal pathway, decreased the expression of downstream VEGF, and increased the apoptosis of drug-resistant cancer cells. In addition, it reduced the expression of class III beta-tubulin protein and increase the sensitivity of drug-resistant cells to paclitaxel. All these effects of octreotide-paclitaxel conjugate were cancelled by cyclosomatostatin. CONCLUSIONS Octreotide-paclitaxel conjugate can reverse the paclitaxel resistance of A2780/Taxol human ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting the activity of p38 MAPK signaling pathway.
