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

The poor outcome of pancreas ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) is frequently linked to therapy resistance. Modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) generated by 13.56 MHz capacitive radiofrequency can induce direct tumor damage and promote chemo- and radiotherapy. Here, we tested the effect of mEHT either alone or in combination with radiotherapy using an in vivo model of Panc1, a KRAS and TP53 mutant, radioresistant PDAC cell line. A single mEHT shot of 60 min induced ~50% loss of viable cells and morphological signs of apoptosis including chromatin condensation, nuclear shrinkage and apoptotic bodies. Most mEHT treatment related effects exceeded those of radiotherapy, and these were further amplified after combining the two modalities. Treatment related apoptosis was confirmed by a significantly elevated number of annexin V single-positive and cleaved/activated caspase-3 positive tumor cells, as well as sub-G1-phase tumor cell fractions. mEHT and mEHT+radioterapy caused the moderate accumulation of γH2AX positive nuclear foci, indicating DNA double-strand breaks and upregulation of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p21
