Sensitization of Drug Resistant Cancer Cells: A Matter of Combination Therapy.
Review in Cancers, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 91 papers.
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.
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
Cancer drug resistance is an enormous problem. It is responsible for most relapses in cancer patients following apparent remission after successful therapy. Understanding cancer relapse requires an understanding of the processes underlying cancer drug resistance. This article discusses the causes of cancer drug resistance, the current combination therapies, and the problems with the combination therapies. The rational design of combination therapy is warranted to improve the efficacy. These processes must be addressed by finding ways to sensitize the drug-resistant cancers cells to chemotherapy, and to prevent formation of drug resistant cancer cells. It is also necessary to prevent the formation of cancer progenitor cells by epigenetic mechanisms, as cancer progenitor cells are insensitive to standard therapies. In this article, we emphasize the role for the rational development of combination therapy, including epigenetic drugs, in achieving these goals.
