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

Plasma therapy and the study of the effects of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on tissues and living cells have been considered by scientific researchers in recent years. CAP is used in the treatment of cancer, but its anti-cancer mechanism has not been fully studied. Therefore, we studied the toxicity effect of CAP by using argon as feed gas and the synergistic effects of CAP with cisplatin on tumor cells and mitochondria isolated from tumor legions of the rat model of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). For this reason, we determined the possible toxic alterations of CAP on mitochondrial upstream events and activation of caspase-3 as the key major downstream event of apoptosis. Also, the effects of cisplatin (10 µM) as a positive control and its synergistic effects with CAP (IC
