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

purposeTo study the effect of β-elemene on the radiosensitivity of A549 cell xenograft tumor and potential mechanisms by which β-elemene regulates the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (

methodsUsing an A549 cell transplantation tumor model with male nude mice, we studied the effect of β-elemene on the radiosensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The expression of

resultsβ-elemene and radiotherapy intervened in the growth of transplanted tumors in varying degrees. The enhancement factor (EF=2.44>1) was calculated; β-elemene at 45 mg/kg had the most significant enhanced effect on radiosensitivity. When β-elemene was used in combination with radiation, the expression of

conclusionβ-elemene exhibits a radiosensitizing effect on A549 cell xenograft tumor. The underlying molecular mechanism is probably associated with the down-regulation of
