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

backgroundHypopharyngeal cancer accounts for 2% in head and neck cancers and has a poor prognosis. Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug in kinds of carcinomas, concluding hypopharyngeal cancer. However, the resistance of cisplatin appeared in recent years. Cisplatin-resistance has been partly explored before, but rarely in hypopharyngeal cancer.

methodsWe cultured the hypopharyngeal cancer cell (FaDu) and induced its cisplatin-resistant cell (FaDu/DDP4). Then we tested the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between FaDu and FaDu/DDP4. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were conducted on the DEGs, and we drew the ceRNA networks of DEGs. Finally, we chose eight miRNAs and six mRNAs for qRT-PCR to verify our microarray.

resultsWe induced cisplatin-resistant FaDu/DDP4 and proved its chemoresistance. The resistance index (RI) of FaDu/DDP4 was 2.828. DEGs contain 2,388 lncRNAs, 1,932 circRNAs, 745 mRNAs and 202 miRNAs. These 745 mRNAs were classified into three domains and 47 secondary GO terms. In KEGG pathway enrichment, the "TNF signaling pathway", "IL-17 signaling pathway" and "JAK-STAT signaling pathway" were potentially significant signaling pathways. Then, 52 lncRNAs, 148 circRNAs, 155 mRNAs and 18 miRNAs were selected to draw the network. We noticed several potential targets (as

conclusionThe microarray helped to find DEGs in cisplatin-resistant hypopharyngeal cancer. TNF, IL-17 and JAK-STAT signaling pathways might be more significant for cisplatin-resistance.
