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

backgroundRadiotherapy is widely applied in breast cancer treatment, while radiotherapy resistance is inevitable. TGF-β1 has been considered to be an endogenous factor for the development of radiotherapy resistance. As a large portion of TGF-β1 is secreted in an extracellular vesicles-associated form (TGF-β1

methodsThe superoxide-Zinc-PKC-ζ-TGF-β1

resultsThe radiotherapy resulted in an increased expression of the intratumoral TGF-β1 and an enhanced infiltration of the Tregs in the breast cancer tissues. The intratumoral TGF-β1 was found mainly in the extracellular vesicles associated form both in the murine breast cancer model and in the human lung cancer tissues. Furthermore, radiation induced more TGF-β1

conclusionsThe superoxide-zinc-PKC-ζ-TGF-β1

trial registrationThe using of patient tissues with malignant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) was approved by the ethics committees at Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China (NCC2022C-702, from June 8th, 2022).
