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

backgroundThe Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is upregulated in cervical cancer and associated with poor outcome. We explored the effects of Hh pathway inhibition in combination with RTCT in a patient derived orthotopic cervical cancer xenograft model (OCICx).

methods5E1, a monoclonal antibody for SHH, or Sonidegib (LDE225), a clinical SMO inhibitor (Novartis) were added to RTCT. We investigated tumour growth delay, metastasis and GI toxicity using orthotopic cervical cancer xenografts models. The xenografts were treated with radiotherapy (15 × 2 Gy daily fractions over 3 weeks) and weekly cisplatin 4 mg kg

resultsWe observed that both Hh inhibitors administered with RTCT were well tolerated and showed increased tumour growth delay, and reduced metastasis, with no increase in acute GI-toxicity relative to RTCT alone.

conclusionsOur data suggest Hh can be a valid therapeutic target in cervical cancer and supports data suggesting a potential therapeutic role for targeting Hh in patients undergoing RTCT. This warrants further investigation in clinical trials.
