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

Resazurin, a phenoxazine used in cell viability assays, acts in vitro as an anti-leukaemic compound through the production of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. However, the in vivo tolerance and efficacy of resazurin in cancer are unknown. In this study, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo effects of resazurin in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Resazurininduced cell death in a dose-dependent manner in AML cell lines and reduced proliferation and colony formation in ex vivo treated patient-derived AML cells. Cells treated with a reduced dose of resazurin for 72 h acquired a more mature immunophenotype suggesting cell differentiation as a mechanism contributing to the anti-leukaemic effect. In vivo optical imaging in healthy mice demonstrated a reduction of resazurin to resorufin within 30 min and non-detectable after 2 h, supporting dosing twice daily as optimal. In subcutaneous and orthotopic models of MV4-11 AML in NOD/SCID IL2rγ
