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

Aberrant promoter hypermethylation resulting in the epigenetic silencing of apoptosis-associated genes is a key process in the chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer. The nucleoside analog, 5-aza-2'deoxycytidine (DAC), inhibits the activity of DNA methyltransferase enzymes and is able to restore the expression levels of genes that have been silenced by aberrant DNA methylation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of combined treatment with DAC and cisplatin (CDDP) on the lung adenocarcinoma cell line, P15. Growth inhibition was examined using a clone formation assay and growth inhibitory activities by cell counting during treatment with DAC alone, CDDP alone or DAC followed by CDDP. In addition, changes in the mRNA expression levels of various apoptosis-associated genes following treatment with increasing concentrations of DAC were determined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) analysis was used to detect the number of apoptotic P15 tumor cells following treatment with DAC and/or CDDP. The results indicated that DAC treatment alone restored the mRNA expression levels of
