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.
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: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) shows a high aggressiveness and chemoresistance. It is important to understand the biology of TNBC, including the influence of immune cells, such as macrophages, on cancer cells (CCs) and their response to chemotherapeutics. The research aimed to determine the effect of cisplatin (CisPt) and paclitaxel (PTX) on the viability, migratory ability and expression of selected genes of TNBC cells co-cultured with macrophages. The influence of macrophages alone on CCs was also studied. Materials and methods: The experiments were conducted with TNBC cell line (MDA-MB 231) and macrophages (THP1) in four experimental setups: MDA-MB231; MDA-MB231 + THP1; MDA-MB231 + CisPt or PTX; MDA-MB231 + THP1 + CisPt or PTX, using cytotoxicity and wound healing (WH) assays, flow cytometry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results: Under PTX action, but not CisPt, a significant decrease in the number of MDA-MB 231 cells and their migration ability was observed. The presence of THP1 cells increases the survival of MDA-MB231 cells treated with CisPt, not PTX. A heat-map with the gene expression level has revealed that under THP1 CCs treated with PTX increase Conclusion: PTX is more toxic against MDA-MB231 cells than CisPt. M2 macrophages play an important role in MDA-MB231 cells gene expression, inducing changes in their metabolism and phenotype.
