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

Our study elucidates the role of FOXP1 in chemoresistance in small cell lung cancer(SCLC). FOXP1 enhances chemoresistance by regulating SP8 expression through its super-enhancer (SP8-SE), with SP8 mediating resistance via the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. We also discovered that FOXP1 forms punctate nuclear structures indicative of liquid-liquid phase separation, crucial for its transcriptional regulation. Targeting the FOXP1-SP8-HR axis with BRD4 and PARP inhibitors showed synergistic effects in reducing tumor growth in vitro and in patient-derived xenograft models. These findings identify FOXP1 as a critical mediator and marker of chemoresistance in SCLC, providing a foundation for developing targeted therapies to overcome this resistance.
