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.
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
backgroundThe influence of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) and cisplatin (CDDP) on the A549 and NCI-H226 cells was studied, and the epigenetic mechanism of enrichment of A549 lung cancer stem cells with 5-Fu was explored. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe cell proliferation of both A549 and NCI-H226 was detected by BrdU assay, and apoptosis condition was measured by flow cytometric analysis. The expressions of OCT3/4 and Nanog in cells treated with 5-Fu or CDDP were measured by immunofluorescence, Western blot and qPCR. qPCR was also performed to determine the relative expression of methyltransferase genes and miRNA. Sequencing after bisulfite treatment (BSP) was employed to detect the methylation of OCT3/4 promoter in A549 cells. And ChIP was conducted to detect the expression of H3K9Me3 and H3K9Ace.
resultsBoth 5-Fu and CDDP result in the apoptosis of A549 and NCI-H226 cells and improve the expressions of has-miR-134 and has-miR-296. However, 5-Fu enhances the expression of OCT3/4 in A549 cells, and the change of methyltransferase genes and BSP results suggested some genetic differences between CDDP and 5-Fu treatment in A549 cells. ChIP assay showed that the expression of H3K9Me3 significantly decreased and H3K9Ace significantly increased in A549 cells.
conclusionThe enrichment effect of CDDP on A549 and NCI-H226 carcinoma stem cells is inconsistent with the enrichment effect of 5-Fu. The enrichment of A549 lung cancer stem cells with 5-Fu might be related to the methylation of OCT3/4 promoter and the expression of H3K9Me3 and H3K9Ace.
