Adipocytic Glutamine Synthetase Upregulation
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 development of resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5FU) chemotherapy is a major handicap for sustained effective treatment in peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal cancer (CRC). Metabolic reprogramming of adipocytes, a component of the tumor microenvironment and the main composition of peritoneum, plays a significant role in drug resistance of PC, with the mechanisms being not fully understood. By performing metabolomics analysis, we identified glutamine (Gln), an important amino acid, inducing resistance to 5FU-triggered tumor suppression of CRC-PC through activating mTOR pathway. Noteworthily, genetic overexpression of glutamine synthetase (GS) in adipocytes increased chemoresistance to 5FU
