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.
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
Bioluminescence (BL) imaging is a powerful non-invasive imaging modality widely used in a broad range of biological disciplines for many types of measurements. The applications of BL imaging in biomedicine are diverse, including tracking bacterial progression, research on gene expression patterns, monitoring tumor cell growth/regression or treatment responses, determining the location and proliferation of stem cells, and so on. It is particularly valuable when studying tissues at depths of 1 to 2 cm in mouse models during preclinical research. Here we describe the protocols for the therapeutic evaluation of a lymphatic drug delivery system (LDDS) using an in vivo BL imaging system (IVIS) for the treatment of metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The LDDS is a method that directly injects anticancer drugs into sentinel LNs (SLNs) and delivers them to their downstream LNs. In the protocol, we show that metastases in the proper axillary LN (PALN) are induced by the injection of luciferase-expressing tumor cells into the subiliac LN (SiLN) of MXH10/Mo-lpr/lpr (MXH10/Mo/lpr) mice. 5-FU is injected using the LDDS into the accessory axillary LN (AALN) to treat tumor cells in the PALN after the tumor cell growth is confirmed in the PALN. The tumor growth and therapeutic effects are evaluated by IVIS. This method can be used to evaluate tumor growth and efficacy of anticancer drugs/particles, radiotherapy, surgery, and/or a combination of these methods in various experimental procedures in the oncology field.
