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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) initially responds well to platinum-based therapy but often develops resistance. Combining therapies may offer a viable approach to address this resistance. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) has shown promising anticancer activity in various cancer types. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of an Hsp90 inhibitor, luminespib (AUY922), and evaluate the synergistic effect of combining AUY922 with cisplatin on two cisplatin-resistant human NPC cell lines. The response of cisplatin-resistant NPC cells to AUY922 and/or cisplatin was assessed through proliferation assay, cell cycle analysis, Annexin V apoptosis detection, Western blot analysis,
