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

Whilst researches elucidating a diversity of intracellular mechanisms, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a major challenge in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Here we report that Exo70, a key subunit of the exocyst complex, contributes to both innate and acquired cisplatin resistance of EOC. Upregulation of Exo70 is observed in EOC tissues and is related to platinum resistance and progression-free survival of EOC patients. Exo70 suppressed the cisplatin sensitivity of EOC cells through promoting exocytosis-mediated efflux of cisplatin. Moreover, cisplatin-induced autophagy-lysosomal degradation of Exo70 protein by modulating phosphorylation of AMPK and mTOR, thereby reducing the cellular resistance. However, the function was hampered during prolonged cisplatin treatment, which in turn stabilized Exo70 to facilitate the acquired cisplatin resistance of EOC cells. Knockdown of Exo70, or inhibiting exocytosis by Exo70 inhibitor Endosidin2, reversed the cisplatin resistance of EOC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Our results suggest that Exo70 overexpression and excessive stability contribute to innate and acquired cisplatin resistance through the increase in cisplatin efflux, and targeting Exo70 might be an approach to overcome cisplatin resistance in EOC treatment.
