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

Bleomycin is a small glycopeptide antibiotic used in combination therapy for the treatment of a few types of human cancer. The antitumor effect of bleomycin is most likely caused by its ability to bind to DNA and induce the formation of toxic DNA lesions via a free radical reactive (Fe.bleomycin) complex. However, the chemotherapeutic potential of bleomycin is limited, as it causes pulmonary fibrosis and tumor resistance at high doses. The chemical structure and modes of action of bleomycin have been extensively studied and these provide a foundation towards improving the therapeutic value of the drug. This review provides a first account of the current state of knowledge of the cellular processes that can allow the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to evade the lethal effects of bleomycin. This model organism is likely to provide rapid clues in our understanding of bleomycin resistance in tumor cells.
