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

The most important challenge in treating FLT3-ITD AML is the development of resistance to FLT3 inhibitors, such as midostaurin, via both FLT3-dependent and FLT3-independent mechanisms. The study explored the potential cytotoxic effects of combining resveratrol and midostaurin on the sensitization of midostaurin-resistant cells. MTT assay revealed resveratrol's chemo-sensitizing influence on midostaurin-resistant cells, and combination indexes (CI) were calculated using Chou-Talalay's method. Apoptosis induction and cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry. The apoptotic molecular markers caspase 3, PARP, Bcl-2, and Bax were analyzed using a western blot. Sphingosine kinase-1 (SK-1) expression, total and phosphorylated FLT3, and STAT5A levels were measured using western blotting. Resveratrol enhanced the cytotoxic effects of midostaurin additively in resistant MV4-11MR and MOLM-13MR cells. It effectively reversed midostaurin resistance by inhibiting the activating phosphorylation of FLT3, STAT5A, and modulating the expression of SK-1 while concurrently increasing the levels of cleaved caspase-3 and PARP without noticeable alterations in Bax/Bcl-2 ratios except MV4-11MR cells. Additionally, there was an arrest at the S or G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, depending on the resistant cells, compared to midostaurin alone, but not to the control group. In conclusion, the FLT3/STAT5A axis and SK-1 might play an important role in the reversal of midostaurin resistance by resveratrol. Therefore, the concurrent administration of resveratrol plus midostaurin could potentially serve as a therapeutic approach to address midostaurin resistance and enhance the overall therapy efficacy for FLT3-ITD AML patients after being validated with future in vivo and ex vivo studies.
