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

backgroundCisplatin is an extensively used chemotherapy agent for lung cancer, but its drug resistance serves as a huge obstacle for chemotherapy failure of lung cancer patients. Hence, researchers aimed to determine role of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) considering its action in cisplatin resistance of lung cancer.

methodsThe expression patterns of SIRT3, FOXO3, and CDT1 were determined using RT-qPCR and Immunoblotting in lung cancer. Immunofluorescence and Co-IP were adopted to detect co-localization and interaction of FOXO3 and CDT1. Loss- and gain-function assays were conducted to determine roles of SIRT3, FOXO3, and CDT1 in resulting pathological changes, while biological behavior of cells was determined using a combination of CCK-8, flow cytometry, colony formation, and Transwell assays. The effects of SIRT3 and CDT1 were determined in the nude mice xenografted with the tumor. The proliferation-, angiogenesis-, and apoptosis-associated factors levels were determined using Immunoblotting.

resultsSIRT3, FOXO3, and CDT1 expression was suppressed in the lung cancer tissues and cells. FOXO3 positively regulates the CDT1 expression pattern and SIRT3 elevation inhibits FOXO3 at the acetylated level, thus, elevating FOXO3 expression. The elevation of SIRT3, FOXO3, or CDT1 inhibited cell cisplatin resistance of lung cancer cells as well as inhibited viability, proliferation, and invasion in vitro. In vivo experiments, SIRT3 depletion elevated Ki-67 and VEGFA levels, but downregulated cleaved caspase 3 level.

conclusionCollectively, overexpressed SIRT3 elevates expression of FOXO3a/CDT1 axis, thus, contributing to enhanced sensitivity of lung cancer cells.
