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

backgroundGlioma is the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system, and accounted for about 70% of primary tumors. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn the study, antitumour activity and mechanism of paclitaxel was investigated. Different concentrations of paclitaxel (200, 300, 400 μmol/L) was treated in neuroglioma cellsU251.

resultsPaclitaxel significantly inhibited neuroglioma cells growth, and promoted its apoptosis. Paclitaxel can block tumour cells in the G2/M phase. In addition, apoptosis-related genes caspase-3 and bax expressions were increased after paclitaxel treatment.

conclusionOur work indicated that paclitaxel displayed strong anti-tumour activity.
