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

Malignant gliomas are a group of aggressive neoplasms among human cancers. The curative effects of current treatments are finite for improving the prognosis of patients. Hyperthermia (HT) is an effective treatment for cancers; however, the effects of HT with different temperatures in treatment of MG and relevant mechanisms remain unclear. MTT assay and Annexin V‑fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide staining were used for investigating the proliferation and apoptosis of C6 cells, respectively. Western blotting was applied to detect the expression of proteins. Ultrasonography was employed to evaluate the tumor formation rate, growth rate, angiogenesis rate and degree of hardness of tumors in vivo. The authors certified that HT with 42‑46˚C x 1 h, 1 t could inhibit proliferation, promote apoptosis, reduce tumor formation rate, growth rate, angiogenesis rate, degree of hardness of tumors, ischemic tolerance and anoxic tolerance, and have synergy with temozolomide in C6 cells. Long‑term HT (43˚C x 1 h, 1 t/5 d, 90 d) did not cut down the sensitivity of C6 cells to HT, and sustainably inhibited the proliferation of C6 cells. Furthermore, the authors proved HT produced these effects primarily through inhibition of the EGFR/STAT3/HIF‑1A/VEGF‑A pathway.
