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

backgroundChemoresistance and immunosuppression are two major obstacles in the current anti-cancer treatments. This study investigates the involvements of a CCAAT enhancer binding protein delta (CEBPD)/vesicle associated membrane protein 3 (VAMP3) axis in paclitaxel (PTX) resistance and immune evasion in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

methodsPTX resistance-related genes were screened by bioinformatics. CEBPD and VAMP3 expression in clinical TNBC samples was examined by immunohistochemistry. Three PTX-resistant TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-231/PTX, MDA-MB-468/PTX and MDA-MB-453/PTX) were generated, and their drug resistance was analyzed. Autophagy of cells was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Interaction between CEBPD and VAMP3 promoter was identified by immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays. The extracellular expression of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in TNBC cells was detected. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from TNBC cells were isolated to examine their effects on CD8

resultsCEBPD and VAMP3 were upregulated in chemo-resistant tissue samples and in PTX-resistant TNBC cells. The CEBPD downregulation enhanced PTX sensitivity of cells. However, further upregulation of VAMP3 in cells restored PTX resistance, which was likely due to the activation of autophagy, as the autophagy antagonist chloroquine enhanced PTX sensitivity of cells. CEBPD was found to bind to the VAMP3 promoter to activate its transcription. The CEBPD/VAMP3 axis also increased the PD-L1 expression in the conditioned medium of TNBC cells. The TNBC cell-derived EVs increased the exhaustion of co-cultured CD8

conclusionThis study provides novel evidence that CEBPD plays a key role in enhancing PTX resistance in TNBC cells across various subtypes through VAMP3-mediated autophagy activation. Additionally, the CEBPD/VAMP3 axis also increases extracellular PD-L1 level, delivered by cancer cell-derived EVs, to suppress CD8
