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

Although apatinib is a promising drug for the treatment of liver cancer, the underlying drug resistance mechanism is still unclear. Here, we constructed apatinib-resistant HepG2 cells. We then characterized the epigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes both in apatinib-resistant and non-resistant HepG2 cells. Differential expression, ATAC-seq, and proteomic data analyses were performed. We found that the cell cycle related protein RB1 may play an essential role in the process of apatinib resistant to hepatocarcinoma. Moreover, there were extensive variations at the transcriptome, epigenetic, and proteomic level. Finally, quantitative PCR (qPCR) and western blot analysis showed that expression level of RB1 in apatinib-resistant cell as well as the samples of patients in progressive disease were significantly lower than that in controls. Those results also showed that the RB1 pathway inhibitors CDK2-IN-73 and Palbociclib could relieve the resistance of apatinib resistant cells. Our results further enhance our understanding of the anti-tumorigenic and anti-angiogenic efficacy of apatinib in liver cancer and provide a novel perspective regarding apatinib resistance. Furthermore, we proved that CDKN2B inhibition of RB1 signaling promoted apatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma. Those findings have greatly important biological significance for the resistance of apatinib and the treatment of liver cancer.
