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

BACKGROUND/

aimSalmonella typhimurium A1-R (A1-R) targets and inhibits a wide range of cancer types without continuously infecting healthy tissue. Chloroquine, an antimalarial drug, induces apoptosis and inhibits autophagy in cancer cells. The aim of the present study was to determine the synergy of A1-R plus chloroquine on HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells in vitro and in a nude-mouse model. MATERIALS AND

methodsHT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells were used for in vitro experiments. Four groups were analysed in vitro: No-treatment control; A1-R; chloroquine; A1-R plus chloroquine. The nude-mouse models of HT1080 human fibrosarcoma were randomly assigned into four groups: G1: untreated control; G2: Oral A1-R [5×10

resultsA1-R combined with chloroquine synergistically decreased the viability of HT1080 cells in vitro compared to other groups. Orally-administered A1-R at 5×10

conclusionThe combination treatment of A1-R plus chloroquine demonstrated synergy against HT1080 cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. A1-R was administered orally, suggesting its potential as a probiotic. The present results suggest the clinical potential of the combination of A1-R and chloroquine for soft-tissue sarcoma therapy, a recalcitrant disease.
