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

Cancer-associated lymphedema frequently occurs following lymph node resection for cancer treatment. However, we still lack effective targeted medical therapies for the treatment or prevention of this complication. An in-depth elucidation of the cellular alterations in subcutaneous adipose tissues of lymphedema is essential for medical development. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of 70,209 cells of the stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissues from lymphedema patients and healthy donors. Four subpopulations of adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) were identified. Among them, the PRG4
