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

Cisplatin resistance is an obstacle for the effective treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The combined use of two or more chemotherapeutic agents displays advantages for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant lung cancer. The present study aimed to assess the synergy of the dual PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway inhibitor NVP-BEZ235 and cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic agent, on proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and protein expression in cisplatin-resistant NSCLC A549/diamminedichloroplatinum resistance (DDP) cells. Cell proliferation was determined by performing Cell Counting Kit 8 and colony formation assays. Combination index (CI) was used to assess the combinatorial effects of NVP-BEZ235 and cisplatin. Cellular apoptosis and cell cycle arrest were detected via flow cytometry. Western blotting was performed to evaluate protein expression levels relative to β-actin. Cisplatin and NVP-BEZ235 displayed the strongest synergy (CI
