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

The aim of the present study was to determine whether acetazolamide (Ace) treatment enhances the chemosensitivity of Hep-2 laryngeal cells to cisplatin (Cis). At the logarithmic growth phase, Hep-2 cells were treated with Ace, Cis or both, and cell viability was detected using an MTT assay. The degree of apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry. Expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins, including BCL2 apoptosis regulator (bcl-2), BCL2 associated X (bax) and caspase-3, and of proliferation-related proteins, including proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and tumor protein p53 (P53), were detected using western blotting. mRNA expression levels of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in each group were detected using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Compared with the drugs used alone, treatment with both Ace and Cis displayed synergistic effects on the growth inhibition and apoptosis induction in Hep-2 cells. The Ace/Cis combination decreased the expression of PCNA but increased the expression of p53. In addition, the combination treatment decreased the ratio of bcl-2/bax and increased the expression of caspase-3, as well as decreased the expression of AQP1. These results demonstrated that the combined use of Ace and Cis enhanced the chemosensitivity of laryngeal carcinoma cells.
