Rhein enhances the cytotoxicity of effector lymphocytes in colon cancer under hypoxic conditions.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment limits the application of adoptive immunotherapy for solid tumors. Hypoxia is closely associated with the formation of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is an oxygen-sensitive transcriptional activator that drives the transcription of several immunosuppressive molecules. In addition, previous studies confirmed that rhein downregulated the expression of HIF-1α, a subunit of HIF-1, in pancreatic cancer cells. The present study established correlations between mRNA expression levels of HIF-1α and six immunosuppressive molecules in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue samples. This study examined the effect of rhein on the expression levels of HIF-1α and six immunosuppressive molecules in CRC cell lines under hypoxic conditions by western blot analysis and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. This study demonstrated that rhein downregulated the expression of HIF-1α and immunosuppressive molecules in CRC cells under hypoxic conditions. In addition, the present study analyzed the cytotoxicity of peripheral blood lymphocytes
