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

backgroundTemozolomide (TMZ) is a first-line chemotherapy drug for the treatment of malignant glioma and resistance to it poses a major challenge. Receptor-interacting protein 2 (RIP2) is associated with the malignant character of cancer cells. However, it remains unclear whether RIP2 is involved in TMZ resistance in glioma.

methodsRIP2 expression was inhibited in TMZ-resistant glioma cells and normal glioma cells by using small interfering RNA (siRNA) against RIP2. Plasmid transfection method was used to overexpress RIP2. Cell counting kit-8 assays were performed to evaluate cell viability. Western blotting or immunofluorescence was performed to determine RIP2, NF-κB, and MGMT expression in cells. Flow cytometry was used to investigate cell apoptosis. TMZ-resistant glioma xenograft models were established to evaluate the role of the RIP2/NF-κB/MGMT signaling pathway in drug resistance.

resultsWe observed that RIP2 expression was upregulated in TMZ-resistant glioma cells, whereas silencing of RIP2 expression enhanced cellular sensitivity to TMZ. Similarly, upon the induction of RIP2 overexpression, glioma cells developed resistance to TMZ. The molecular mechanism underlying the process indicated that RIP2 can activate the NF-κB signaling pathway and upregulate the expression of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), following which the glioma cells develop drug resistance. In the TMZ-resistant glioma xenograft model, treatment with JSH-23 (an NF-κB inhibitor) and lomeguatrib (an MGMT inhibitor) could enhance the sensitivity of the transplanted tumor to TMZ.

conclusionWe report that the RIP2/NF-κB/MGMT signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of TMZ resistance. Interference with NF-κB or MGMT activity could constitute a novel strategy for the treatment of RIP2-positive TMZ-resistant glioma.
