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

backgroundConventional chemotherapy is based on the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and requires treatment-free intervals to restore normal host cells. MTD chemotherapy may induce angiogenesis or immunosuppressive cell infiltration during treatment-free intervals. Low-dose metronomic (LDM) chemotherapy is defined as frequent administration at lower doses and causes less inflammatory change, whereas MTD chemotherapy induces an inflammatory change. Although several LDM regimens have been applied, LDM cisplatin (CDDP) has been rarely reported. This study addressed the efficacy of LDM CDDP on tumour endothelial cell phenotypic alteration compared to MTD CDDP.

methodsTumour growth and metastasis were assessed in bladder cancer-bearing mice treated with LDM or MTD gemcitabine (GEM) and CDDP. To elucidate the therapeutic effects of LDM CDDP, the change of tumour vasculature, tumour-infiltrating immune cells and inflammatory changes were evaluated by histological analysis and mRNA expression in tumour tissues.

resultsTumour growth and bone metastasis were more suppressed by LDM CDDP + MTD GEM treatment than MTD CDDP + MTD GEM. Myeloid-derived suppressor cell accumulation was reduced by LDM CDDP, whereas inflammatory change was induced in the tumour microenvironment by MTD CDDP.

conclusionLDM CDDP does not cause inflammatory change unlike MTD CDDP, suggesting that it is a promising strategy in chemotherapy.
