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

Subsequently to the publication of the above article, a concerned reader drew the Editor's attention to the fact that, regarding the western blots shown in Fig. 3B on p. 1692, the tubulin bands shown for lanes 4 and 5 (showing the 'Doxo+Pi' and 'Taxol' experiments) were strikingly similar to the tubulin blots shown for lanes 7 and 8 (showing the '5‑FU' and '5‑FU+Pi' experiments), suggesting possible inappropriate editing of this figure in the paper. It also came to light that the data in question reappeared in a paper published subsequently by the same research group in the journal Molecules a couple of years afterwards. Having assessed these data independently in the Editorial Office, the concerns raised by the reader were judged to have been well founded; therefore, the Editor of
