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

Identifying mechanisms underlying chemoresistance is essential for improving the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs. Previously, we showed that cancer cells respond to gemcitabine by activating protective signals dependent on the master regulator of autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis, transcription factor EB (TFEB). However, how gemcitabine triggers these protective responses remains elusive. While gemcitabine primarily aims at disrupting DNA replication, it is also suspected to induce nucleolar stress. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of gemcitabine on nucleolar stress and investigate whether nucleolar stress inducers could trigger TFEB-dependent protective signals. Besides gemcitabine causing nucleolar stress, the anticancer agent CX-5461, primarily designed to induce nucleolar stress, promoted TFEB nuclear accumulation. Interfering with TFEB improved the sensitivity of cancer cells to both CX-5461 and gemcitabine. Our findings suggest that TFEB provides broad protection against the stress caused by chemotherapeutic drugs, representing a promising target for intercepting chemoresistance and improving the efficacy of anticancer agents.
