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

purposeCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are major constituents of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and have been associated with chemotherapeutic failure via different mechanisms. However, the CAFs inhibit chemotherapy mechanism in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains undetermined.

methodsFibroblasts were isolated from tumor and normal lung tissues from patients with poorly differentiated LUAD (pCAFs), moderately differentiated LUAD (mCAFs), and normal fibroblasts (NFs). Then, the influence of these fibroblasts on carboplatin's cytotoxic effects on LUAD cell lines A549 and NCI-H1299 was assessed by measuring their IC

resultsThe data revealed that pCAFs significantly inhibited apoptosis in LUAD cells and increased carboplatin IC

conclusionThis study revealed that LUAD-derived CAFs activate the NF-κB axis to secrete CXCL12, thereby weakening the carboplatin's killing effect on LUAD. Furthermore, poorly differentiated LUAD secreted more CXCL12. These findings indicate a novel strategy to enhance carboplatin's chemotherapeutic potential against LUAD.
