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

Advanced-stage gastrointestinal tumors have high mortality due to chemotherapy limitations. One of the causes of treatment failure is the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which show resistance mechanisms against DNA damage, such as poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1). However, little is known about the relevance of PARP-1 in these tumor cells. Our purpose is to analyze the expression of PARP-1 in cancer cells and CSCs from gastrointestinal tumors, its relationship with the DNA damage repair process and its modulation by cytotoxic and PARP-1 inhibitors. We used pancreatic, liver and colon cancer cell lines and isolated CSCs using Aldefluor technology to analyze PARP-1 expression. In addition, we examined the effect of classic cytotoxic drugs (Doxorubicin, Gemcitabine, Irinotecan and 5-Fluorouracil) and a PARP-1 inhibitor (Olaparib) in cultured cells and 3D tumorspheres. We demonstrated that PARP-1 is highly expressed in pancreatic, liver and colon tumor cells and that this expression was significantly higher in cell populations with CSC characteristics. In addition, Doxorubicin and Gemcitabine increased their cytotoxic effect when administered simultaneously with Olaparib, decreasing the formation of 3D tumorspheres. Our findings suggest that PARP-1 is a common and relevant resistance mechanism in CSCs from gastrointestinal tumors and that the use of PARP-1 inhibitors may be an adjuvant therapy to increase apoptosis in this type of cells which are responsible to cancer recurrence and metastasis.
