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

To evaluate the radiosensitization of Oroxylin A on esophageal carcinoma cell as well as the optimal scheduling of Oroxylin A and radiotherapy (RT). Cell proliferation was estimated by a CCK8 assay. Radiosensitization was evaluated by a clonogenic survival assay. The progressions of Cell apoptosis and Cell cycle were investigated by flow cytometry. Expressions of survivin and cell cycle regulators were evaluated by Western blot analysis. A dose-dependent cell survival reduction was found in response to radiation with or without Oroxylin A. The apoptosis rates were remarkably dose-dependent higher in combination groups than in either Oroxylin A or radiation alone group. Besides, Oroxylin A could obviously radiosensitize ESCC cells by arresting tumor cells in G2/M phase and regulating cyclin B1 and Cdc 2 protein expression. Oroxylin A could be a promising radiosensitizer for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by inducing G2/M phase blocking and activating cell apoptosis.
