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

backgroundGlycolysis provides growth advantages and leads to drug resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. SIRT1, an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, regulates various cellular processes, and its upregulation results in antitumor effects. This study investigated the role of SIRT1 in metabolic reprogramming and oxaliplatin resistance in CRC cells.

aimTo investigate the role of SIRT1 in metabolic reprogramming and overcoming oxaliplatin resistance in CRC cells.

methodsWe performed transcriptome sequencing of human CRC parental cells and oxaliplatin-resistant cells to identify differentially expressed genes. Key regulators were identified

resultsSalermide, a SIRT1 inhibitor, was identified as a candidate compound that enhances oxaliplatin resistance. In oxaliplatin-resistant cells, SIRT1 was downregulated, whereas γH2AX and PARP were upregulated. PARP activation led to NAD+ depletion and SIRT1 inhibition, which were reversed by PARP inhibitor treatment. The increase in SIRT1 expression overcame oxaliplatin resistance, and while SIRT1 inhibition increased glycolysis, the increase in SIRT1 inhibited glycolysis in resistant CRC cells, which was characterized by reduced expression of the glycolytic enzymes PKM2 and LDHA, as well as a decreased extracellular acidification rate. The PKM2 inhibitor shikonin inhibited glycolysis and reversed oxaliplatin resistance induced by SIRT1 inhibition.

conclusionSIRT1 expression is reduced in oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells due to PARP activation, which in turn increases glycolysis. Restoring SIRT1 expression reverses oxaliplatin resistance in CRC cells, offering a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome drug resistance.
