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

The present study was conducted to investigate if anti-inflammatory drug aspirin could alter the cytotoxic action of cisplatin on tumor cells. Using a transplantable T cell lymphoma in a murine model, we demonstrate that exposure to aspirin exerts a priming action on tumor cells, rendering them susceptible to induction of cell death by cisplatin with consequences on retardation of tumor progression. The priming action of aspirin on tumor cells was found to be dependent on an altered constitution of tumor microenvironment with respect to decline of acidosis and modulation in the expression of cell cycle and survival regulatory molecules like cyclin B1, cyclin D, bcl-2, bcl-xL, p53, and cytokines: IL-4, IL-10, IFN- γ & VEGF. The study also discusses possible mechanisms underlying augmentary action of aspirin on cisplatin-mediated tumor cells killing. This is the first report showing that pre-exposure of tumor cells to aspirin lowers the concentration of cisplatin to exert its cytotoxic action. The finding of this study will help in designing novel antitumor protocols with reduced dose of cisplatin.
