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

Aberrant C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) is associated with disease progression, poor prognosis and chemotherapy resistance in human malignancy. The tumor microenvironment (TME) contributes to chemotherapy resistance. However, the role of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs)-derived CCL5 is not well documented. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of CAFs on chemotherapy resistance in A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and the underlying mechanism. Primary CAFs isolated from patients with NSCLC were found to express and secrete elevated levels of CCL5, which attenuated cisplatin (DDP)-induced apoptosis, as indicated by flow cytometry analysis. In addition, CCL5 upregulated the expression levels of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) in the tumor cells, and silencing HOTAIR in tumor cells enhanced the cytotoxic effect of cisplatin, characterized by decreased cell viability and increased apoptotic rate. Mechanistically, HOTAIR was found to inactivate the caspase-3/BCL-2 signaling pathway in A549 NSCLC cells. Collectively, the current study demonstrated that CAFs in the TME may serve a crucial role in the higher expression levels of CCL5 in tumors and that CAF-derived CCL5 may promote cisplatin resistance via upregulating lncRNA HOTAIR expression.
