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

S100A4 plays important roles in tumor development and metastasis, but its role in regulating inflammation and colitis-associated tumorigenesis has not been well characterized. Here, we report that S100A4 expression was increased in azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colorectal cancer (CRC) in mice. After AOM/DSS treatment, both S100A4-TK mice with the selective depletion of S100A4-expressing cells and S100A4-deficient (S100A4
