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

Notch signaling is critical in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Furthermore, accumulating evidence indicated that aberrant Notch signaling has a tumor-promoting function in osteosarcoma. However, the effect of the conventional chemotherapeutic agent, doxorubicin, on Notch signaling remains unclear. In the present study, osteosarcoma cells were treated with various concentrations of doxorubicin and the effect on Notch signaling was analyzed. A cytostatic dose of doxorubicin (<0.5 µM) was identified to significantly activate the Notch signaling pathway in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01), as demonstrated by the elevated expression levels of Notch target genes. However, a toxic dose of doxorubicin (≥0.5 µM) significantly inhibited the Notch signaling pathway (P<0.01). These results indicated a significant correlation between doxorubicin administration and the Notch signaling pathway. Therefore, the present study supports further investigation into Notch and osteosarcoma chemoresistance.
