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 circadian clock, which generates the internal daily rhythm largely mediated through release of melatonin, can be disrupted in various ways. Multiple factors result in a disruption of the circadian cycle in the clinical context, of interest are anti-cancer drugs such as cisplatin. Cisplatin modulates the circadian clock through two mechanisms: 1) the circadian clock control of DNA excision repair and 2) the effect of circadian clock disruption on apoptosis. Cisplatin can stimulate multiple classified molecules, including DNA repair factors, DNA damage recognition factors and transcription factors in drug resistance and cisplatin-induced signal transduction. These factors interact with each other and can be transformed by DNA damage. Hence, these molecular interactions are intimately involved in cell proliferation and damage-induced apoptosis. Cisplatin has a dual-effect on circadian genes: upregulation of CLOCK expression causes an increase in proliferation but upregulation of BMAL1 expression causes an increase in apoptosis. Therefore, the interference of circadian genes by cisplatin can have multiple, opposing effects on apoptosis and cell proliferation, which may have unintended pro-cancer effects.
