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

Drug resistance of gastric carcinoma (GC) is a burning question in the medical field. This study aimed to investigating the ameliorative effect of apatinib (Apa) on paclitaxel (PTX) resistance in GC. In this research, PTX-resistant MGC803 cells were intervened by Apa. Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and cell migration and invasion was determined by Transwell assays. The levels of apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, Bax), drug resistance-related proteins (MDR1, P-gp) and VEGFR2 protein were measure by Western blot, and the mRNA expression of VEGFR2 was tested by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Then VEGFR2 was overexpressed to examine the role of Apa in PTX-resistant MGC803 cells. The results identified a significantly reduced growth rate of MGC803/PTX cells after PTX induction, obviously increased invasive and migrated cells, and evidently enhanced proliferation capacity of MGC803/PTX cells as compared to MGC803 cells. In MGC803/PTX cells, VEGFR2, MDR1, P-gp and Bcl-2 were all up-regulated while Bax was down-regulated. After Apa intervention, PTX-resistant MGC803 cells showed decreased cell migration, invasion and proliferation, reduced MDR1, P-gp and VEGFR2 levels, and increased Bax protein level. Overexpression of VEGFR2 can offset the rescue effect of Apa on PTX-induced drug resistance of MGC803 cells. Taken together, Apa may inhibit PTX resistance of MGC803 cells via the VEGFR2 signaling pathway.
