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

Tumor hypoxia contributes to resistance to anticancer therapies. Hypoxia-activated prodrugs (HAPs) selectively target hypoxic cells and their activity can extend to well-oxygenated areas of tumors via diffusion of active metabolites. This type of bystander effect has been suggested to be responsible for the single agent activity of the clinical-stage HAP evofosfamide (TH-302) but direct evidence is lacking. To dissect the contribution of bystander effects to TH-302 activity, we implemented a Green's function pharmacokinetic (PK) model to simulate the spatial distribution of O
