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

backgroundTrichostatin A (TSA) is emerging as a potential component of anticancer therapy. In this study, we aimed to identify the radiosensitizing effects of TSA in esophageal squamous carcinoma cell lines and identify the genomic alteration of histone acetylation associated with TSA treatment.

methodsEC109 and KYSE450 cells were pretreated with TSA (0.1 µM) for 12 hours prior to irradiation, and the cell viability, flow cytometry, and comet assays were performed to analyze cell growth, cell apoptosis, and DNA damage, respectively. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) was performed to identify the acetylation sites of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9), which was altered by TSA.

resultsOur data showed that TSA could sensitize esophageal cancer cells to radiation by inducing cell cycle arrest and increasing cell apoptosis. DNA damage induced by radiation was enhanced by TSA treatment. In addition, a total of 105 differential peak-related genes were found to be associated with TSA treatment, which was identified using ChIP-Seq with specific antibodies against acetylated histone H3K9.

conclusionsOur data suggest that pretreatment with TSA can enhance ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage of esophageal cancer cells, which was associated with the altered histone modification of whole genome. TSA has potential implications for clinical use in increasing the anticancer efficacy of radiation.
