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

backgroundThe cisplatin resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients results in low response rate and overall survival rate. Exosomes contribute to pathological processes of multiple cancers.

objectiveIn this study, we explored the function and mechanisms of exosomal miR-103a-3p derived from cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) in cisplatin resistance in NSCLC.

resultsMiR-103a-3p was highly expressed in CAFs and CAF exosomes, and exosomal miR-103a-3p derived from CAFs in NSCLC. CAFs exosomes co-cultured with NSCLC cells promoted miR-103a-3p expression both in NSCLC cells and its exosomes. Functional experiments showed that exo-miR-103a-3p derived from CAFs promoted cisplatin resistance and inhibited apoptosis in NSCLC cells. Pumilio2 (Pum2) bound with miR-103a-3p in cytoplasm and nucleus, and facilitated packaging into CAF-derived exosomes in NSCLC cells. Further analysis showed Bak1 was a direct target of miR-103a-3p, and miR-103a-3p accelerated cisplatin resistance in NSCLC cells via Bak1 downregulation.

conclusionOur study revealed that CAFs-derived exosomal miR-103a-3p promoted cisplatin resistance by suppressing apoptosis via targeting Bak1, which provided a potential therapeutic target for cisplatin resistance in NSCLC.
