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

aimTo elucidate the combined effect of alkylated DNA repair protein alkB homolog 2 (ALKBH2)-targeting gene therapy and cisplatin (cDDP) chemotherapy on the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) H1299 cell line.

methodsALKBH2 was down-regulated in H1299 cells by lentivirus-mediated RNA interference (RNAi). Changes in ALKBH2 expression were determined using real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting. Cell viability was evaluated using MTT assay. DNA synthesis in proliferating cells was determined using BrdU incorporation assay. Cell apoptosis was determined using flow cytometry.

resultsLentivirus-mediated ALKBH2 silencing alone did not induce apoptosis or attenuate the growth potential of H1299 cells within five days post-infection. Combined treatment modalities with lentivirus-mediated ALKBH2 down-regulation and cDDP (333 μmol/L) were significantly more potent in inhibiting cell growth and inducing apoptosis than mono-chemotherapy.

conclusionCombined treatment modalities of ALKBH2 knockdown and cDDP chemotherapy have the potential to improve the efficacy in the treatment of NSCLC.
