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 side effects of platinum-based chemotherapy are important factors limiting the survival of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Current research suggests that pyroptosis is involved in this process. However, how this mechanism can be used to reduce side effects has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we reported that GSDME was expressed at higher levels in normal tissues than in cancerous tissues in OSCC patients and was the main cause of platinum-based side effects. In an OSCC xenograft model, the inflammatory status and GSDME expression were increased after cisplatin chemotherapy. Cellular experiments showed that higher expression of GSDME was associated with less chemoresistance to cisplatin. A subsequent study demonstrated that cisplatin treatment promotes the maturation of caspase-3, triggers GSDME-mediated pyroptosis and induces cell death. When the amino acid sequence of GSDME cleaved by caspase-3 was mutated, cellular death and pyroptosis induced by cisplatin were significantly inhibited. Moreover, application of vitamin D during cisplatin-based chemotherapy could successfully inhibit GSDME cleavage and pyroptotic cell death
