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

Olaparib is a PARP inhibitor (PARPi) approved for targeted treatment of ovarian cancer (OC). However, its efficacy is impeded by the inevitable occurrence of resistance. Here, we investigated whether the cytotoxic activity of olaparib could be synergistically enhanced in olaparib-resistant OC cells with BRCA2 reversion mutation by the addition of inhibitors of the ATR/CHK1 pathway. Moreover, we provide insights into alterations in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway induced by combination treatments. Antitumor activity of olaparib alone or combined with an ATR inhibitor (ATRi, ceralasertib) or CHK1 inhibitor (CHK1i, MK-8776) was evaluated in OC cell lines sensitive (PEO1, PEO4) and resistant (PEO1-OR) to olaparib. Antibody microarrays were used to explore changes in expression of 27 DDR-related proteins. Olaparib in combination with ATR/CHK1 inhibitors synergistically induced a decrease in viability and clonogenic survival and an increase in apoptosis mediated by caspase-3/7 in all OC cells. Combination treatments induced cumulative alterations in expression of DDR-related proteins mediating distinct DNA repair pathways and cell cycle control. In the presence of ATRi and CHK1i, olaparib-induced upregulation of proteins determining cell fate after DNA damage (PARP1, CHK1, c-Abl, Ku70, Ku80, MDM2, and p21) was abrogated in PEO1-OR cells. Overall, the addition of ATRi or CHK1i to olaparib effectively overcomes resistance to PARPi exerting anti-proliferative effect in BRCA2
