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

Radiotherapy (RT) continues to be a fundamental component in the management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, some NSCLC patients do not attain optimal therapeutic outcomes due to the emergence of radioresistance. Improving the effectiveness of RT in NSCLC necessitates a thorough comprehension of the mechanisms that lead to radioresistance. This review delineates various potential mechanisms of radioresistance in NSCLC, encompassing augmented DNA damage repair, cell cycle dysregulation, cancer stem cells (CSCs), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), tumor hypoxia, an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), dysregulation of cell death pathways, metabolic reprogramming, exosome-mediated signaling, genetic mutations, aberrant activation of signaling pathways, and epigenetic modifications. In addition, this study explores various novel strategies aimed at enhancing the radiosensitivity of NSCLC and provides a concise overview of potential biomarkers predictive of RT response, which may contribute to the development of innovative combination therapies to address radioresistance and improve patient outcomes.
