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

This research underscores the potential of combining nanotechnology with conventional therapies in cancer treatment, particularly for challenging cases like pancreatic cancer. We aimed to enhance pancreatic cancer treatment by investigating the synergistic effects of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and docetaxel (DTX) as potential radiosensitizers in radiotherapy (RT) both in vitro and in vivo, utilizing a MIA PaCa-2 monoculture spheroid model and NRG mice subcutaneously implanted with MIA PaCa-2 cells, respectively. Spheroids were treated with GNPs (7.5 μg/mL), DTX (100 nM), and 2 Gy of RT using a 6 MV linear accelerator. In parallel, mice received treatments of GNPs (2 mg/kg), DTX (6 mg/kg), and 5 Gy of RT (6 MV linear accelerator). In vitro results showed that though RT and DTX reduced spheroid size and increased DNA DSBs, the triple combination of DTX/RT/GNPs led to a significant 48% (
