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
As standard treatments for cancer, DNA-damaging chemotherapeutic agents and irradiation therapy improve survival in patients with various cancers. Wee1, a kinase associated with the cell cycle, causes G2/M cell cycle arrest to allow repair of injured DNA in cancer cells, and a Wee1 inhibitor has been confirmed to lead to apoptosis in cancer cells. Recently, there has been renewed interest in exploring the immune environment which plays a significant role in tumour suppression. A Wee1 inhibitor combined with radiotherapy has been tested in lung, pancreatic, and prostate cancer and melanoma in vivo or in vitro. There is still no research evaluating the immunoregulatory effects of AZD1775 plus high-dose irradiation (IR) in vivo. T cell killing and CD8+ T cell depletion assays demonstrated that the combination of AZD1775 and IR delayed tumour growth in breast cancer mouse models. Additionally, combination treatment also suppressed the expression of PD-L1, a co-inhibitor, through the STAT3-IRF1 axis. The importance and originality of this study are that it explores the internal and external mechanisms of AZD1775 combined with a single high dose of IR and provides a rationale for applying the combination therapy described above in a clinical trial.
