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

We aimed to build cellular aggregates of TS/A and normal fibroblasts (LX-2) or CAFs (ME-iLX-2), verifying the value of this model in the screening of anticancer drugs and demonstrating the effect of CD44 on aggregate formation. We improved soft agar culture medium to coculture CAFs (NFs) and TS/A and compared the amount and area of cellular aggregates. Eugenol was added to this model to test its value. The transcription of human CD44 was analyzed through RT-qPCR. Cellular aggregates were formed, and both the amount and area of aggregates in the TS/A-ME-iLX-2 coculture group were higher than those in other groups. The eugenol inhibited the formation of TS/A-fibroblasts aggregates. Human CD44 was highly transcripted in TS/A-ME-iLX-2 aggregates. Cocultured cellular aggregates of fibroblasts and TS/A were successfully formed in the improved soft agar culture medium, and the promotion effect of CAFs on cancer cells was further confirmed. The eugenol test showed its value in the screening of anticancer drugs. The RT-qPCR results demonstrated the important effect of CD44 on aggregate formation.
