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

The radiosensitization potential of focused ultrasound (FUS)-induced mild hyperthermia was assessed in an allogenic subcutaneous C6 glioma tumor model in rats. Mild hyperthermia at 42 °C was induced in tumors using a single-element 350 kHz FUS transducer. Radiation was delivered with a small animal radiation research platform using a single-beam irradiation technique. The combined treatment involved 20 min of FUS hyperthermia immediately before radiation. Tumor growth changes were observed one week post-treatment. A radiation dose of 2 Gy alone showed limited tumor control (30% reduction). However, when combined with FUS hyperthermia, there was a significant reduction in tumor growth compared to other treatments (tumor volumes: control-1174 ± 554 mm
