In one paragraph

Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05494359 (The Diagnostic Value of Various Mass Nitrogen Components Excreting for Oral Gas in Esophagus Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Glutamic acid and alanine make up more than 60 per cent of the total amino acids in the human body. Glutamine is a significant source of energy for cells and also a prime donor of nitrogen in the biosynthesis of many amino acids. Several studies have advocated the role of glutamic acid in cancer therapy. Identification of metabolic signatures in cancer cells will be crucial for advancement of cancer therapies based on the cell's metabolic state. Stable nitrogen isotope ratios (
