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

Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common tumors in men aged 20-40 years and are primarily treated with cisplatin-based drugs. Although TGCTs are highly sensitive to DNA damage induced by cisplatin and show a hypersensitive apoptotic response, cisplatin resistance still exists. Emerging evidence shows that cisplatin resistance in TGCTs is mainly related to the inhibition of apoptotic pathways such as MDM2/p53, OCT4/NOXA, PDGFR/PI3K/AKT, inhibition of cell cycle checkpoints, increased methylation or neddylation and DNA repair balance. In this review, recent advances regarding the mechanisms of TGCTs' sensitivity and resistance to cisplatin were summarized and potential therapeutic agents for cisplatin-resistant TGCTs were presented, providing a new therapeutic strategy for drug-resistant TGCTs.
