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

Cisplatin is used to treat a variety of malignancies, including testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs). Although cisplatin-based chemotherapy yields high response rates, a subset of patients develop cisplatin resistance, limiting treatment options and worsening prognosis. Therefore, there is a high clinical need for new therapeutic strategies targeting cisplatin-resistant TGCTs. MicroRNA-371a-3p (miR-371), the new serum biomarker for TGCTs, shows significantly increased expression in cisplatin-resistant TGCT cell lines compared to sensitive parental cell lines. However, the functional impact of miR-371 on cisplatin sensitivity has not been investigated yet. To evaluate the impact of miR-371 on cisplatin sensitivity, antagomirs were used to inhibit miR-371 expression, resulting in a > 98% decrease in miR-371 expression. Cisplatin sensitivity was significantly increased after miR-371 inhibition in cisplatin-resistant and corresponding parental TGCT cell lines, indicating a strongly reduced viability and increased apoptosis after cisplatin treatment in miR-371-inhibited cells. Our results suggest that miR-371 may contribute to the development of cisplatin resistance in TGCTs. Interfering with miR-371 expression can increase the cisplatin sensitivity of tumour cells, which may represent a promising approach to improve future therapeutic outcomes in patients with TGCTs, especially those with cisplatin-resistant disease.
