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

<strong>BACKGROUND</strong> Melanoma is among the most aggressive forms of cancer. Our latest retrospective analysis showed that recombinant human interferon-alpha1b (IFN-alpha1b) led to significantly prolonged survival with mild toxicity in patients with stage IV melanoma. Based on this clinical finding, the current study sought to investigate the influence of IFN-alpha1b on the antitumor immunity of melanoma, with interferon-alpha2b (IFN-alpha2b) used as a control. <strong>MATERIAL AND METHODS</strong> Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated with culture medium alone, or medium supplemented with IFN-alpha1b or IFN-alpha2b. Flow cytometry and lactate dehydrogenase release assays were used to evaluate cytotoxic effects. Flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunospot assays were used to analyze immunoregulatory effects on natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, CD3⁺CD8⁺ T cells, and melanoma cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was performed to measure the effect on proliferation of melanoma cells
