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

Tumors are inherently resilient and often develop resistance against cancer therapies, leading to poor patient outcomes. With the sophisticated analytical and computational tools now available, much has been revealed about how molecularly targeted drugs affect the biochemical networks of cancer cells, enabling the directed design of treatment regimens that can better thwart resistance. In this issue of Science Signaling, Morton et al. demonstrate a nanoparticle system capable of sequentially delivering two drugs: The first inhibits an oncogenic pathway to sensitize the cells to DNA damage-induced apoptosis; the second is a genotoxic drug that takes advantage of the vulnerable state of the cancer cells to kill them with enhanced efficiency.
