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

backgroundThe incidence and mortality of lung cancer continue to increase around the world; in 2018, new lung cancer cases accounted for 11.6% of all cancer cases, and lung cancer deaths accounted for 18.4% of cancer deaths. Cisplatin (DDP) is a first-line chemotherapy drug for lung cancer; however, DDP resistance can lead to a poor prognosis in patients with lung cancer. Therefore, reversing DDP resistance is a treatment goal. MATERIALS AND

methodsCell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assays, wound healing analyses, Transwell assays, in vitro tumor xenografts, and flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of multidrug resistant A549/DDP and PC9/DDP cells, respectively. Western blot was performed to detect protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, CHOP, and GRP78.

resultsDelicaflavone inhibited DDP resistance of lung cancer cells and decreased proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. It also decreased migration and invasion and enhanced apoptosis. Western blots showed that delicaflavone overcame DDP resistance by increasing the expression of GRP78 and CHOP and the apoptosis-related protein cleaved caspase-3.

conclusionDelicaflavone can reverse DDP resistance in A549/DDP and PC9/DDP cells by inhibiting cell proliferation and migration and enhancing apoptosis and cleaved caspase-3 levels by increasing the expression of CHOP and GRP78 protein via the endoplasmic reticular stress pathway. It could be a useful therapeutic adjunct to treat DDP-resistant lung cancer.
