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

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare cancer affecting the pleural layer on the body's serosal surfaces. Exposure to asbestos fibers, a naturally occurring fibrous material with insulating characteristics, contributes to PM's prevalence. PM has a long latency period, making major surgery ineffective and necessitating systemic treatment. Despite the progress of mesothelioma treatment, the median survival is very poor; so, there is a strong need to explore new therapeutic approaches. This study explores the use of BOLD-100, a novel therapeutic drug that targets GRP78, a protein overexpressed in PM cells. BOLD-100, a ruthenium-based small molecule therapeutic drug, is being investigated for the treatment of advanced gastrointestinal malignancies in conjunction with chemotherapy. Our aim is to investigate cellular responses of several PM cell lines to a regimen that includes BOLD-100 in addition to other commonly used treatments. BOLD-100 is a ruthenium-based anticancer therapeutic.
