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

Background: According to histopathology, esophageal cancer can be divided into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (adeno arcinoma). In China, 90% of esophageal cancer patients are squamous cell carcinoma. Cisplatin and fluaziridine are the main chemotherapy before and after surgery. Long-term drug treatment is often accompanied by the emergence of drug resistance of tumor cells. There are many mechanisms for the emergence of drug resistance of tumor cells, including the increase of drug efflux, the decrease of drug intake, the inhibition of cell apoptosis, and so on. This study aimed to investigate the key cancer-promoting genes related to chemotherapy resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods: Two datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE86099 and GSE50224) were retrieved. We performed microRNA (miRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The intersection of the downregulated miRNA targets and the upregulated mRNAs were used for Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, and survival risk was assessed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Results: There were 35 common genes, of which, based on GO enrichment, most were related to the cardiac muscle cell action. Four genes showed significant association with the estimated half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC Conclusions: The 35 oncogenes may be involved in mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance in ESCC, as well as the corresponding enrichment and regulatory network. The signature containing 4 key risk genes merits further investigation and may provide a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms in ESCC treatment failure.
