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

Targeted therapies for melanoma MEK and BRAF inhibitors fail due to the development of chemoresistance. As Hsp90 inhibitors target client proteins of resistant pathways, we hypothesised that C-terminal Hsp90 inhibitors will target BRAF/MEK inhibitor resistant melanoma cells by overcoming the resistant pathways. Two melanoma cell lines, A375 and A375 MEK/BRAF inhibitor resistant (A375MEKi) were utilised. The inhibitory concentrations (IC
