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

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-β is an important tyrosine kinase and its downregulation has been reported to alter the radiosensitivity of glioma cells, although the underlying mechanism is unclear. In order to investigate the effect of PDGFR-β on the radiosensitivity of glioblastoma, the present study transfected C6 glioma cells with a PDGFR-β-specific small interfering (si)RNA expression plasmid, and downregulation of the expression of PDGFR-β in C6 glioma cells was confirmed by western blotting and immunohistochemical analysis. Clone formation assays and xenograft growth curves demonstrated that PDGFR-β-siRNA enhanced the radiosensitivity of C6 glioma cells
