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

Metformin is a widely prescribed anti-diabetes drug with potential utilities for cancer therapies. Several studies have related metformin to the reduced risk of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), highlighting its potentialities for the treatments of CCA. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we demonstrated that metformin treatment could inhibit proliferations of the human CCA cell lines Mz-ChA-1 and QBC939 in dose-dependent manners. The NMR-based metabonomic analyses showed distinct discriminations between the metformin-treated (Met) and control (Ctrl) groups of both CCA cells. Characteristic metabolites were identified by a combination of multivariate statistical analysis of 1D
