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

Synergistic drug combinations often provide effective strategies to increase treatment efficacy and, during therapy, it is a time-dependent process. Data for colorectal and lung cancer in vivo were used for the phenomenological study of dynamical synergy during treatments. The proposed approach takes into consideration tumor regrowth by macroscopic laws. The time dependencies of synergistic drug combinations are analyzed by different parametric indicators. The cumulative effects of the single therapy and drug combinations are quantitatively well described and related to the cumulative doses. In conclusion, the analysis of dynamical synergy during chemotherapy has to take into account the effects of the drug doses and the tumor regrowth, which can provide a reliable description of the synergistic time dependence.
