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

Imatinib mesylate (imatinib) is the primary agent of choice used to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). However, drug resistance to imatinib poses a major obstacle to treatment efficacy. In addition, the relationship between imatinib resistance and glycolysis is poorly understood. Glucose transporter (GLUT)‑1 is a key component of glycolysis. The present study aimed to assess the potential relationship between components in the glycolytic pathway and the acquisition of imatinib resistance by GIST cells, with particular focus on GLUT‑1. An imatinib‑resistant GIST cell line was established through the gradual and continuous imatinib treatment of the parental human GIST cell line GIST‑T1. The expression of glycolysis‑related molecules (GLUT‑1, hexokinase 2, pyruvate kinase M2 and lactate dehydrogenase) was assessed in parental and imatinib‑resistant cells by western blotting, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and glucose and lactate measurement kits. In addition, clinical information and transcriptomic data obtained from the gene expression omnibus database (GSE15966) were used to confirm the
