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

Adenine nucleotide translocase-1 (ANT1) is an ADP/ATP transporter protein located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. ANT1 is involved not only in the processes of ADP/ATP exchange but also in the composition of the mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore (mPTP); and the function of ANT1 is closely related to its own conformational changes. Notably, various viral proteins can interact directly with ANT1 to influence mitochondrial membrane potential by regulating the opening of mPTP, thereby affecting tumor cell fate. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encodes the key tumorigenic protein, latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), which plays a pivotal role in promoting therapeutic resistance in related tumors. In our study, we identified a novel mechanism for EBV-LMP1-induced alteration of ANT1 conformation in cisplatin resistance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Here, we found that EBV-LMP1 localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and inhibits the opening of mPTP by binding to ANT1, thereby favoring tumor cell survival and drug resistance. The ANT1 conformational inhibitor carboxyatractyloside (CATR) in combination with cisplatin improved the chemosensitivity of EBV-LMP1-positive cells. This finding confirms that ANT1 is a novel therapeutic target for overcoming cisplatin resistance in the future.
