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

Chemotherapy is one of the first-line treatment options in cancer patients. Cisplatin (CDDP) is widely used as one of the antineoplastic agents in many cancers. Nevertheless, CDDP resistance is considered as a therapeutic challenge in cancer. Considering the CDDP side effects in normal tissues, prediction of CDDP response helps to select a suitable therapeutic strategy in cancer patients. Sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) is a critical regulator of tumor growth and embryogenesis that is involved in tumor metastasis, apoptosis, and cell proliferation, through association with other developmental/oncogenic signaling pathways. SOX2 has also a crucial role in CDDP resistance in tumor cells. Therefore, we discussed the role of SOX2 in regulation of CDDP response in tumor cells. It has been reported that SOX2 upregulation through PI3K/AKT, WNT, Hippo, and TGF-β signaling pathways mainly promotes the CDDP resistance in tumor cells. The present review can be an effective step in introducing SOX2 as a prognostic marker as well as a therapeutic target in cancer patients.
