The role of the mitochondria in mediating cytotoxicity of anti-cancer therapies.
Review in Journal of bioenergetics and biomembranes, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Optimal cytotoxic anticancer therapy, at the cellular level, requires effective and selective induction of cell death to achieve a net reduction of biomass of malignant tissues. Standard cytotoxic chemotherapeutics have been developed based on the observations that mitotically active cancer cells are more susceptible than quiescent normal cells to chromosomal, microtubular or metabolic poisons. More recent development of molecularly targeted drugs for cancer focuses on exploiting biological differentials between normal and transformed cells for selective eradication of cancers. The common thread of "standard" and "novel" cytotoxic drugs is their ability to activate the apoptosis-inducing machinery mediated by mitochondria, also known as the intrinsic death signaling cascade. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the role of the mitochondria, an energy-generating organelle essential for life, in mediating death when properly activated by cytotoxic stresses.
