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

backgroundRadiotherapy is one of the most comment and useful treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but the radioresistance remains a major obstacle. Osthole, a natural coumarin derivative, has been shown to have anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activity. However, the relationship between osthole and NPC treatment, especially for radiotherapy, is still elusive.

methodsOsthole with or without X ray radiotherapy treated with CNE2 cells, a human EC cell line. Cell viability, proliferation, migration and apoptosis were measured by MTT, colony formation, Annexin V/PI double staining, Transwell assay, respectively. NPC tumor models were established on BALB/c nude mice by subcutaneously injection of CNE2 cells and the effect of osthole and radiotherapy on tumor growth in vivo was studied.

resultsWe found that in a dose-dependent manner, osthole could individually, and synergistically with radiotherapy, reduce NPC cell (CNE2) viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion, and induce apoptosis, respectively. This effect of anti-tumor growth and induction of apoptosis was further confirmed in mice induced by subcutaneously injection with CNE2 cells and following treated with osthole or/and radiation.

conclusionOsthole increases the effect of radiotherapy on anti-human nasopharyngeal cancer.
