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

Chemoresistance poses a significant clinical challenge in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC), while its underlying molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood. Post-translational protein modification and abnormal activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) are critical regulators of tumor chemoresistance. This study investigates the role of TNF receptors-associated factors 6 (TRAF6) in 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) resistant GC. Utilizing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to suppress TRAF6 expression in 5-FU resistant GC cells across both in vivo and in vitro models, we observed a marked reduction in cell proliferation and tumor growth. Low expression of TRAF6 inhibited nuclear translocation of NF-κB-p65, which was achieved by promoting the expression of Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Importantly, TRAF6, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, bound to the IRF3-Δ (SR + IAD) (1-190aa) domain, inducing Lys70 ubiquitination of IRF3 to regulate its protein stability, with ubiquitin K48 residue playing a crucial role in this process. In conclusion, our study reveals the mechanism by which the TRAF6/IRF3 axis decreases GC's cells sensitivity to 5-FU by promoting nuclear translocation of NF-κB-p65, offering valuable insights into overcoming chemoresistance in GC.
