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

purposeUterine serous carcinoma (USC) exhibits worse survival rates compared to the endometrioid subtype, and there is currently no effective treatment options for recurrence of this disease after platinum-based chemotherapy. Activation of PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is a common biological feature in USC. MATERIALS AND

methodsIpatasertib (IPAT) is an investigational, orally administered, ATP-competitive, highly selective inhibitor of pan AKT that has demonstrated anti-proliferative activity in a variety of tumor cells and tumor models. In this study, we used IPAT, carboplatin and their combination to investigate the anti-tumor activity in SPEC-2 and ARK-1 cells.

resultsOur results indicate that IPAT combined with carboplatin at low doses was more effective at reducing proliferation, inducing apoptosis and causing cellular stress than IPAT or carboplatin alone. In particular, inhibition of the PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR pathway and induction of DNA damage were involved in the synergistic inhibition by combination treatment of cell viability in USC cells treated with the combination. Furthermore, IPAT in combination with carboplatin significantly reduced cell adhesion and inhibited cell invasion.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that the combination of IPAT and carboplatin has potential clinical implications for developing new USC treatment strategies.
