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

Tumor metastasis is one of the major factors for the high mortality in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), but its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we report that Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Piezo 1) is detected to be significantly upregulated in CCA tissues, which is linked to a poor prognosis in patients, suggesting that Piezo 1 may act in a pro-metastatic role in CCA development. Piezo 1 is activated through 20% simulated physiological stretch, and deleting Piezo 1 impedes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of CCA cells, as well as impairing their metastatic capacity
