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

Natural killer (NK) cells are a potent weapon against tumor and viral infection. Finding active compounds with the capacity of enhancing NK cell effector functions will be effective to develop new anti-cancer drugs. In this study, we initially screened 287 commercially available active compounds by co-culturing with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We found that five compounds, namely, Daphnetin, MK-8617, LW6, JIB-04, and IOX1, increased the IFN-γ
