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

The nonnegligible reason for the poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is resistance to conventional chemotherapy. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a rare immunostimulatory form of cell death that can reengage the tumor-specific immune system. ICD can improve the clinical outcomes of chemotherapeutics by promoting a long-term cancer immunity. The discovery of potential ICD inducers is emerging as a promising direction. In the present study, micheliolide (MCL), a natural guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone, was screened out by the virtual screening strategies, identified as an inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and was evaluated to have high potential to induce ICD. Here, we showed that MCL induced ICD-associated DAMPs (damage-associated molecular patterns, such as CRT exposure, ATP secretion and HMGB1 release). MCL significantly triggered the regression of established tumors in an immunocompetent mouse vaccine model, and induced ICD (DCs maturation, the stimulation of CD4
