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

With the development of advanced imaging and radiation technologies, radiotherapy has been employed as the principal treatment approach for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). So far, a number of patients still suffer from the failure of this treatment due to the acquired radioresistance, but the underlying mechanisms are still poorly defined. In this study, we found that Twist1, participating in a variety of cell biological process, was associated with the malignancy of NPC and could induce NPC radioresistance in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, Twist1 could promote the accumulation of DNA damage repair and inhibit the apoptosis of NPC cells. Therefore, our study not only elucidates the significant role of Twist1 in radioresistance of NPC, but also highlights Twist1 as a potential therapeutic target for NPC.
