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

Drug chemoresistance remains a major reason of treatment failure in cancer patients. In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the seventh most common cancer worldwide, cisplatin chemotherapy remains the gold standard for advanced tumors but often faces loss of responsiveness and the drawback of relapse. We previously showed that the metabolic and angiogenic factor angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is a molecular biomarker of oral dysplasia and HNSCC. We also found that through interaction with Neuropilin 1 (NRP1), ANGPTL4 activates proliferative and migratory pathways that contribute to HNSCC development. Using HNSCC xenografts, patient tumor-derived organoids, tumor spheroids, and HNSCC cell lines, CAL27, HN13, and HN4, here we provide evidence of the role of ANGPTL4 in the development of platinum-based chemoresistance in HNSCC through the promotion of DNA damage response (DDR) and homologous recombination (HR). ANGPTL4 enhanced these mechanisms by promoting phosphorylation of RAD51 recombinase in Tyr
