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

Currently, the clinical treatment of cancer is mainly based on surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but there are still problems associated with these treatments, such as disease recurrence and adverse reactions. The complexity and harmful nature of cancer mean that combining multiple treatment methods is an inevitable response. Therefore, it is of theoretical and practical significance to expand upon and study the aforementioned classic and traditional measures. With the advancement of technology, physical therapy has become important in the current research and treatment of cancer, and the physical factors related to cancer deserve in-depth study and discussion. The present review aimed to describe the mechanisms of action of pressure, temperature, photo-, sound and other physical therapies for cancer, which may provide new avenues for cancer treatment.
