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
The aim of this study was to introduce human somatostatin receptors subtype-2 (hsstr2) gene into A549 lung carcinoma cells in order to investigate the role of these receptors, and to observe the lethal effect of (131)I-RC-160 (RC-160, vapreotide, an analog of somatostatin) on transfected cells through tumor scintigraphy. Clones overexpressing SSTR2 were selected for radioligand-receptor binding assay and assessment of (125)I-RC-160 internalization. The methylthiazolyl tetrazolium test was used to observe the lethal effect of (131)I-RC-160, Na(131)I, and RC-160 on hSSTR2-transfected A549 cells (A549-hSSTR2). Planar imaging was performed with a gamma camera equipped with pinhole collimator in nude mice bearing both A549-hSSTR2 tumors overexpressing SSTR2 and A549-pcDNA3 (pcDNA3-transfected A549 cells) tumors as control. Images were obtained at 0.5, 6, and 24 h after injection of 3.7 × 10(6) Bq (99m)Tc-RC-160 via the tail vein. The inhibitory effects of (131)I-RC-160, RC-160, and Na(131)I on the tumors were recorded by measuring the tumor volumes. At the end of the study, the tumors were excised and HE staining was performed. The binding radioactivity (sum of membrane-bound and internalized radioligand) of A549-hSSTR2 cells was 18.24 ± 1.9 % of total counts added after 1 h of incubation, and was higher than that of A549-pcDNA3 cells 5.7 ± 1.4 % (P < 0.05). The inhibition ratio of A549-hSSTR2 cells was 78.8 ± 5.9 %. Clear images of tumor lesions in nude mice were achieved at 0.5 h post injection. In the A549-hSSTR2 xenograft tumor group, the growth of the tumors treated with (131)I-RC-160 was significantly inhibited as compared to tumors in the group treated with RC-160 (P < 0.01). This study demonstrated that it was possible to introduce hsstr2 to non-expressing tumor cell lines and treat tumors with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs.
