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

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children. Intensifying chemotherapy has failed to improve patient survival for metastatic or relapsed RMS and RMS survivors often suffer from significant long‑term toxicities. More efficient and less toxic new therapies are critically needed. RMS expresses high levels of anti‑apoptotic protein Bcl‑2 and an oncogenic transcription factor Forkhead box protein M1 (FOXM1), which is also known to inhibit tumor cell apoptosis. The present study used a combination therapy of a recently developed non‑toxic FOXM1 inhibitor, RCM‑1 and the FDA‑approved Bcl2 inhibitor, venetoclax, which is not effective as a monotherapy in solid tumors. Compared with venetoclax alone, the combination therapy efficiently inhibited RMS growth in the animal model by decreasing tumor cell proliferation and inducing tumor cell apoptosis. RNA‑sequencing analysis demonstrated that the combination therapy uniquely decreased expression of ATPase Plasma Membrane Ca
