Investigation of the Molecular Mechanisms of Paraoxonase-2 Mediated Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy Resistance in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Review in Clinical and translational science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common form of cancer, with 390,000 new cases estimated for 2022. OSCC has a poor prognosis, largely due to a high recurrence rate and resistance to therapy. Cancer cells develop resistance to standard therapy owing to various factors, such as genetic predispositions, alterations in the apoptotic pathway coupled with DNA repair pathways, drug efflux, and drug detoxification. This review is aimed at exploring the crucial role of paraoxonase 2 (PON2) in conferring resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy in OSCC cells. PON2, an antioxidant enzyme, protects cancer cells from the oxidative stress caused by these treatments. By influencing apoptotic pathways and DNA repair mechanisms, PON2 can reduce the effectiveness of therapy. This review is an attempt to explore the complex molecular mechanisms modulated by PON2, such as the mitigation of oxidative stress, enhancement of DNA repair, apoptosis regulation, drug efflux modulation, and drug detoxification, which decrease treatment efficacy.
