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

introductionSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) is prone to chemoresistance, which is closely related to genome homeostasis-related processes, such as DNA damage and repair. Nucleophagy is the elimination of specific nuclear substances by cells themselves and is responsible for maintaining genome and chromosome stability. However, the roles of nucleophagy in tumour chemoresistance have not been investigated.

objectivesThe aim of this work was to elucidate the mechanism of chemoresistance in SCLC and reverse this chemoresistance.

methodsRNA-seq data from SCLC cohorts, chemosensitive SCLC cells and the corresponding chemoresistant cells were used to discover genes associated with chemoresistance and patient prognosis. In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to verify the effect of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) knockdown or overexpression on the chemotherapeutic response in SCLC. The regulatory effect of HMGB1 on nucleophagy was then investigated by coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP) and mass spectrometry (MS), and the underlying mechanism was explored using pharmacological inhibitors and mutant proteins.

resultsHMGB1 is a factor indicating poor prognosis and promotes chemoresistance in SCLC. Mechanistically, HMGB1 significantly increases PARP1-LC3 binding to promote nucleophagy via PARP1 PARylation, which leads to PARP1 turnover from DNA lesions and chemoresistance. Furthermore, chemoresistance in SCLC can be attenuated by blockade of the PARP1-LC3 interaction or PARP1 inhibitor (PARPi) treatment.

conclusionsHMGB1 can induce PARP1 self-modification, which promotes the interaction of PARP1 with LC3 to promote nucleophagy and thus chemoresistance in SCLC. HMGB1 could be a predictive biomarker for the PARPi response in patients with SCLC. Combining chemotherapy with PARPi treatment is an effective therapeutic strategy for overcoming SCLC chemoresistance.
