Review in American journal of cancer research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 74 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Lipid droplets (LDs) are a kind of organelle that is commonly found in eukaryotic cells to store lipids, which encompass a hydrophobic core composed of a single layer of phospholipids and neutral lipids (mainly including triacylglycerol (TAG) and cholesterol ester (CE)) as well as a small amount of proteins. LD accumulation is gradually recognized as a prominent characteristic in a variety of cancers and attracts increasing attention on this field. In this article, we not only summarize the composition, synthesis and decomposition of LD, but also highlight its role in carcinogenesis and malignant development of cancers.
