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

Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E6 has been proved to increase the radiosensitivity and lead to the EGFR overexpression in cervical cancer cells. In this study, to investigate the inhibition of nimotuzumab-mediated EGFR blockade combined with radiotherapy, we established a C33A cervical squamous cell line overexpressed HPV16-E6 and a nude mouse model bearing these cell lines. The CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of various treatments on the proliferation of C33A cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the rates of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Gene transcription and protein expression were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate protein expression in tumor tissue. We revealed that E6-overexpressing C33A cells grew faster and were more sensitive to radiotherapy than control cells
