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

Ionizing radiation (IR) therapy is one of the most commonly used treatments for cancer patients. The responses of tumor cells to IR are often tissue specific and depend on pathway aberrations present in the tumor. Identifying molecules and mechanisms that sensitize tumor cells to IR provides new potential therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment. In this study, we used two genetically engineered mouse carcinoma models, brain choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC) and prostate, to test the effect of inactivating gadd45a, a DNA damage response p53 target gene, on tumor responses to IR. We show that gadd45a deficiency significantly increases tumor cell death after radiation. Effect on survival was assessed in the CPC model and was extended in IR-treated mice with gadd45a deficiency compared with those expressing wild-type gadd45a. These studies show a significant effect of gadd45a inactivation in sensitizing tumor cells to IR, implicating gadd45a as a potential drug target in radiotherapy management.
