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

Waterpipe (shisha or hookah) smoking is recognized as a risk factor for lung cancer; however, its interference with hypoxia stress and tumor suppressor pathways in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is poorly defined. In this study, NSCLC cell lines (A549, H460, H226 with endogenous wild-type p53, and H1299 transiently expressing wild-type or p53 mutants) were exposed to waterpipe smoke condensate (WPSC) under normoxic and/or hypoxic conditions. WPSC induced HIF-1α stabilization under normoxic conditions, accompanied by predominantly cytoplasmic localization and without corresponding induction of the canonical HIF-1 target genes examined. In parallel, WPSC transiently reduced nuclear p53 localization without altering total p53 protein levels. In A549 cells, WPSC pretreatment attenuated irradiation-induced expression of the p53 target genes cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (
