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

Resistance to antitumor treatment contributes to patient mortality. Functional proteomic screening of organoids derived from chemotherapy-treated patients with breast cancer identified nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) histone deacetylase as an inhibitor of cytotoxic stress response and antitumor immunity. High NCOR2 in the tumors of patients with breast cancer predicted chemotherapy refractoriness, tumor recurrence and poor prognosis. Molecular studies revealed that NCOR2 inhibits antitumor treatment by regulating histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) to repress interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1)-dependent gene expression and interferon (IFN) signaling. Reducing NCOR2 or impeding its epigenetic activity by modifying its interaction with HDAC3 enhanced chemotherapy responsiveness and restored antitumor immunity. An adeno-associated viral NCOR2-HDAC3 competitor potentiated chemotherapy and immune checkpoint therapy in culture and in vivo by permitting transcription of IRF-1-regulated proapoptosis and inflammatory genes to increase IFN-γ signaling. The findings illustrate the utility of patient-derived organoids for drug discovery and suggest that targeting stress and inflammatory-repressor complexes such as NCOR2-HDAC3 could overcome treatment resistance and improve the outcome of patients with cancer.
