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

Radiotherapy is the biggest force acting behind cancer treatment, yet the vast majority of patients get only modest benefit. The successive failure of targeted therapies in radiotherapy lies in the non-discriminative killing of both normal and cancer cells. However, there is still a reason for optimism due to recent advancement made in cancer biology which unrevealed many new deregulated pathways in cancer and their response towards drug and radiation. In this review, we comprehensively discussed novel and promising druggable target which can be exploited for tumor radiosensitization in addition to normal tissue radioprotection in radiotherapy, for better tumor controllability and patient quality of life. In the last part, we also discussed the radiation countermeasure agents in brief.
