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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has high mortality rates worldwide. Agrin contributes to immune synapse information and is involved in tumor metastasis. However, its roles in NSCLC and tumor immune microenvironment remain unclear. This study examined the effects and the underlying mechanisms of Agrin in NSCLC and tumor-infiltrated immune cells. Clinical tissue samples were used to confirm the bioinformatic predictions. NSCLC cells were used to investigate the effects of Agrin on cell cycle and proliferation, as well as invasion and migration. Tumor xenograft mouse model was used to confirm the effects of Agrin on NSCLC growth and tumor-infiltrated regulatory T cells (Tregs)
