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

Introduction: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a subtype of lung cancer with high malignancy and poor prognosis. Rapid acquisition of chemoresistance is one of the main reasons leading to clinical treatment failure of SCLC. Studies have indicated that circRNAs participate in multiple processes of tumor progression, including chemoresistance. However, the molecular mechanisms of circRNAs driving the chemoresistance of SCLC are not well specified. Methods: The differentially expressed circRNAs were screened by transcriptome sequencing of chemoresistant and chemosensitive SCLC cells. The EVs of SCLC cells were isolated and identified by ultracentrifugation, Western blotting, transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis and EVs uptake assays. The expression levels of circSH3PXD2A in serum and EVs of SCLC patients and healthy individuals were detected by qRT‒PCR. The characteristics of circSH3PXD2A were detected by Sanger sequencing, RNase R assay, nuclear-cytoplasmic fraction assay, and fluorescence in situ hybridization assay. The mechanisms of circSH3PXD2A inhibiting SCLC progression were studied by bioinformatics analysis, chemoresistance assay, proliferation assay, apoptosis assay, transwell assay, pull-down assay, luciferase reporting assay, and mouse xenograft assay. Results: It was identified that the circSH3PXD2A was a prominently downregulated circRNA in chemoresistant SCLC cells. The expression level of circSH3PXD2A in EVs of SCLC patients was negatively associated with chemoresistance, and the combination of EVs-derived circSH3PXD2A and serum ProGRP (Progastrin-releasing peptide) levels had better indications for DDP-resistant SCLC patients. CircSH3PXD2A inhibited the chemoresistance, proliferation, migration, and invasion of SCLC cells through miR-375-3p/YAP1 axis in vivo and in vitro. SCLC cells cocultured with EVs secreted by circSH3PXD2A-overexpressing cells exhibited decreased chemoresistance and cell proliferation. Conclusion: Our results manifest that EVs-derived circSH3PXD2A inhibits the chemoresistance of SCLC through miR-375-3p/YAP1 axis. Moreover, EVs-derived circSH3PXD2A may serve as a predictive biomarker for DDP-resistant SCLC patients.
