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

backgroundAdvanced-stage neuroblastoma patients require multiagent chemotherapy. Intratumoral implantation of vincristine-loaded silk gel uses local diffusion to decrease orthotopic neuroblastoma tumor growth in mice. We hypothesize that injecting vincristine-loaded silk gel into 8 locations within the tumor, instead of only centrally, decreases the diffusion distance and improves tumor growth suppression.

methodsHuman neuroblastoma cells, KELLY, were injected into mouse adrenal glands to create orthotopic tumors. After the tumors reached 100 mm

resultsVincristine-loaded silk gels suppressed tumor growth up to an inflection point (458.7 ± 234.4 mm

conclusionInjecting vincristine-loaded sustained release silk gel at 8 separate locations halved the diffusion distance and doubled the time for the tumor to reach the growth inflexion point.
