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

Head and neck cancer, the sixth most common cancer, has poor prognosis and short survival. Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapies have been recently developed for the treatment of multiple cancer types. JK184, an inhibitor of Hedgehog pathway, prevents the growth of many tumor cell lines in several studies. Whether it enhances chemosensitivity to block EGFR expression by shEGFR plasmid and blocks the Hedgehog pathway by JK184 remains unclear in sinonasal tumors. The changes in cell apoptosis and proteins have been detected by flow cytometry and Western blotting, respectively. In vivo, the maxillary sinus model was established to detect the inhibition of tumor growth and tumor weight. A synergistic effect has been observed with JK184 combined with shEGFR, which is positively correlated with increased autophagy. The maxillary sinus model results demonstrated that the inhibitory rate of the combined therapy was higher than that of JK184 or shEGFR alone. Our findings suggest that JK184 in combination with shEGFR might have potential as a new therapeutic regimen against sinonasal tumors.
