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

With the rapid progression of chemotherapies, the occurrence of chemoresistance is becoming a major obstacle in contemporary cancer treatment. As essential organelles, mitochondria perform diverse functions to provide ATP and various intermediates to modulate biosynthetic and bioenergetic processes, which are indispensable to cell survival. Recently, mitochondria have increasingly intrigued researchers for their unique influence on chemoresistance. This review explores the intricate relationship between mitochondria and chemoresistance. We delve into the complex roles that mitochondria play in chemoresistance, focusing on the aberrant alterations in mitochondrial behaviors and interactions with other organelles. We also review the subsequent impact of mitochondrial changes on cellular functions, such as metabolic reprogramming and the dysregulation of cell death. By presenting a retrospective analysis of previous research and elucidating the underlying mechanisms, we aim to reveal the potential of enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapies and overcoming cancer chemoresistance by targeting mitochondria. Hopefully, this review will provide directions for future research and the development of more viable drugs, ultimately improving the prognosis of cancer patients.
