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

In recent years, there have been significant developments using combined therapies in cancer treatment. The present study aimed to determine the effects of using crizotinib alone and in combination with butyric acid on different types of breast cancer cells. A total of three different breast cancer models were used: MDA-MB-231, a triple negative model; MCF-7, a Luminal A model; and SKBR-3 cell line, a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive model. In the experiments, proliferation rates and cell index values were obtained using the xCELLigence RTCA DP System, and mitotic index, bromodeoxyuridine labeling index and caspase activity were evaluated as cell kinetics parameters. The results showed that while proliferation rates, cell index values, mitotic index and bromodeoxyuridine labeling index decreased, caspase activity values increased. These results demonstrated that the combined application was more effective than the monotherapy application and could be used at lower concentrations than those drugs applied as monotherapy.
