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

Dysregulated amino acids metabolism reciprocally interplays with evolutionary phenotypic characteristics of cancer cells to enhance metastasis. The high metastasis potential of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) can manifest with perineural invasion (PNI). We here aimed to determine the role of amino acids metabolism in OSCCs with different PNI statuses. Targeted metabolomics was used to quantify 48 amino acids in 20 fresh OSCC samples and 25 amino acids were successfully detected, within which 9 were significantly up-regulated in PNI positive (PNI
