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

Combination therapy is used to optimize anticancer efficacy and reduce the toxicity and side-effects of drugs upon systemic administration. Ultrasound (US) combined with micro-bubbles (UM) enhances the intracellular uptake of cytotoxic drugs by tumor cells, particularly drug-resistant cells. In the present study, low-frequency and low-energy US (US irradiation conditions: frequency, 21 kHz; power density, 0.113 W/cm
