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

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have substantially improved the management of lung adenocarcinoma harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, however, not all patients can derive benefit from it. We found that the overexpression of IFI6 under the influence of the AHSA1-HSP90AA1 complex significantly enhances Osimertinib resistance in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma cells. This effect is achieved by stabilizing mitochondrial function, reducing apoptosis, and promoting cell survival pathways via increased Akt phosphorylation. Additionally, we revealed that TGFB1 further promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and enhances the invasive and migratory capabilities of these cells, thereby intensifying resistance. Regarding mechanisms, the AHSA1-HSP90AA1 complex stabilizes IFI6 and TGFB1 to enhance cell survival and Osimertinib resistance in EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma. IFI6 not only aids in cellular survival under drug stress but also promotes aggressive tumor phenotypes, suggesting its viability as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for overcoming primary TKI resistance.
