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

Mitochondrial oxygen consumption, dynamics, and morphology play roles in the occurrence, development, and drug resistance of cancer; thus, they are main targets for many anticancer drugs. Increased mitochondrial oxygen consumption and impaired oxygen delivery creates hypoxia, which influences the balance of metabolic cofactors for biogenesis, disease progression, and response to therapeutics. We therefore investigated the effects of Taxol, a well-known anticancer drug, on mitochondrial respiration (principally via a measure of oxidative phosphorylation versus glycolysis), morphology, and dynamics. The concomitant effects of Taxol on mitochondrial ATP and reactive oxygen species production, mitochondrial membrane potential, radical-induced formation of carbonyl groups, mitochondrial release of cytochrome c, as well as cell cycle were investigated. Cells used in this study include the following: A549 (non-small-cell lung epithelial cancer cell line), A549-ρ
