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

Survivin is an inhibitor of apoptosis protein that functions to inhibit apoptosis, promote proliferation, and enhance invasion. It is selectively up-regulated in many human tumors and implicated in cellular radiation response through its role in apoptosis, cell division, and DNA damage response. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanisms of targeting survivin radiosensitivity in cervical cancer C33A cells. Here, the authors designed a small interfering RNA (siRNA) or plasmid-based small hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting survivin and tested its effects on radiosensitivity to ionizing radiation (IR) treatment of C33A cells
