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

aimTherapeutic choices for cancer patients include many combinations of therapeutic protocols. The present study aimed to investigate and discuss the combined effects of magnetic field and chemotherapy treatment on Ehrlich tumor-induced growth in Swiss albino mice. The benefits of both treatments are discussed and interpreted.

methodsFifty adult male mice were randomly divided into two groups; ten mice in the first group served as control group and forty in the second group which received a single dose IP injection of tumor fluid (0.02 Ml) to induce tumor. Ten days post injection to allow the tumor to growth, the 40 mice were sub- divided in to 4 sub-groups 10 mice pre each to introduce the treatment.

resultsThe results indicated tumor growth inhibition regarding mean tumor volume variation (ml) presented. All treatments display tumor growth prevention effect compared to control untreated mice. Treatment with Dox + 7G (MF) exposure exhibited a significant inhibition of tumor growth than that treated alone with DOX or magnetic field; 82% inhibition for DOX + MF 7 G against 60% for 7 G , and 31% for DOX only. Optical density data show a higher values of the molar absorption coefficient

conclusionOur findings support further exploration of the potential of magnetic fields in cancer therapeutics, either as adjunct or primary therapy. It may be due to enhancing the drug interaction with tumor cells which increase the therapeutic index of DOX and resulted in increased anti-tumor activity against Ehrlich tumor models. These benefits promote the use of the magnetic field in cancer with chemotherapy over the other traditional treatment agents this highly adapted manner can be used in improving the clinical treatment protocol and fights against cancer.
