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

backgroundIn the current study, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells (K562 and KU812) co-cultured with human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were significantly less sensitive to imatinib (IM). The activation of the CXCL12-CXCR4/7 axis plays an important role in the protective effect of the bone marrow microenvironment (BME) on CML cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Wogonin could increase the sensitivity of CML cells to IM when they were co-cultured with BME and explore its underlying mechanism.

methodsA model of CML cells co-cultured with BMSCs was applied

resultsThe results showed that Wogonin could reverse the resistance of CML cells to IM under co-culture conditions by inhibiting Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) secretion in the BME, preventing the translocation of Smad4 into nucleus and subsequently reducing the expression of CXCR4 and CXCR7 in CML cells. Moreover, the reverse effect of Wogonin was demonstrated by inhibiting the activation of CXCL12-CXCR4/7 axis via restraining the TGF-β/Smad4/Id3 pathway

conclusionsWogonin increases the sensitivity of CML cells to IM in BME by controlling the TGF-β/Smad4/Id3 pathway and decreasing the expression of CXCR4 and CXCR7. These results co-supported the point that Wogonin could be a potential candidate of reversal agents on treatment of IM-resistant CML.
