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
purposeRadiotherapy is one major curative treatment modality for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. This study aimed to find out small-molecular kinase inhibitors, which can significantly enhance the radiosensitivity of ESCC in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND
methodsNinety-three kinase inhibitors were tested for their radiosensitizing effect in ESCC cells through high-content screening. The radiosensitizing effect of kinase inhibitors was investigated in vitro by detection of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and clonogenic survival assay. By the establishment of xenograft tumor models in BALB/c nude mice, the radiosensitizing effect of kinase inhibitors was investigated in vivo.
resultsAmong the 93 kinase inhibitors tested, we found NVP-BSK805, an inhibitor of JAK2 kinase, significantly radiosensitized ESCC cells through enhancing DSBs, inhibiting DNA damage repair and arresting cell cycle in G2/M or G0/G1 phase. After treatment with NVP-BSK805, ESCC cells showed decreased clonogenic survival and delayed tumor growth in vivo. JAK2 kinase was highly expressed in tumor tissues of ESCC patients, while rarely expressed in matched normal esophageal epithelial tissues. Survival analysis revealed JAK2 kinase as a prognostic factor of ESCC patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
conclusionOur study discovered JAK2 kinase as an attractive target to enhance the radiosensitivity of ESCC cells in vitro and in vivo.
