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

Pemetrexed (PEM), a multi-targeted antifolate, has promising clinical activity in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. However, the majority of patients eventually acquire resistance to PEM. To evaluate the resistant mechanisms, the A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line was exposed to stepwise increasing PEM concentrations of 1.6, 6.4 and 16 μM to establish three PEM-resistant lung cancer cell lines, A549/PEM-1.6, -6.4 and -16. Growth inhibition was determined by the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Expression of the genes encoding thymidylate synthase (TS), reduced folate carrier (RFC) and folypoly-γ-glutamate synthetase (FPGS) were analyzed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The three A549 cell lines showed more resistance to PEM (3.7-, 17.3
