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

In addition to hypoxia, acidic extracellular pH (pH(e)) is recognised as one of the microenvironmental characteristics of solid tumours. A number of studies have examined ways to increase tumour acidity in order to improve tumour-specific targeting of certain drugs and the effectiveness of hyperthermia. However, previous data have shown that exposure of murine tumour cells to acid conditions in culture can enhance their metastatic potential when injected subsequently into mice, raising the concern that deliberate tumour acidification might increase the probability of metastasis. In this study, we examined the effects of in vivo tumour acidification and hypoxia on the spontaneous metastatic potential of the murine KHT-C fibrosarcoma and B16F1 melanoma cell lines. A tumour-specific increase in extracellular acidity, demonstrated by measurements with pH electrodes, was achieved by daily intraperitoneal injections of meta-iodo-benzylguanidine (MIBG) and/or glucose. This method of tumour acidification during tumour growth did not significantly enhance the spontaneous metastatic potential of the two murine cell lines.
