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

objectivesDrosophila melanogaster has become an excellent model organism to explore the genetic mechanisms underlying tumour progression. Here, by using well-established Drosophila tumour models, we identified Toll-7 as a novel regulator of tumour growth and invasion. MATERIALS AND

methodsTransgenic flies and genetic epistasis analysis were used. All flies were raised on a standard cornmeal and agar medium at 25°C unless otherwise indicated. Immunostaining and RT-qPCR were performed by standard procedures. Images were taken by OLYMPUS BX51 microscope and Zeiss LSM 880 confocal microscope. Adobe Photoshop 2020 and Zeiss Zen were used to analyse the images. All results were presented in Scatter plots or Column bar graphs created by GraphPad Prism 8.0.

resultsLoss of Toll-7 suppresses Ras

conclusionsOur findings characterized Toll-7 as a proto-oncogene that promotes tumour growth and invasion in Drosophila, which shed light on the pro-tumour function of mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs).
