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

Hepatocellular carcinomas remain as a global health threat given its high mortality rate. We have previously identified the selectivity of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) against multiple types of malignant tumors and proposed it as a promising onco-therapeutic strategy. Here, we investigated its roles in controlling hepatocellular carcinoma malignancy and one possible driving molecular mechanism. By focusing on post-translational modifications including acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination, we identified the crosstalk between EGFR acetylation and EGFR(Tyr1068) phosphorylation and their collective roles in determining LC3B ubiquitination and proposed the EGFR/p-JNK/BIRC6/LC3B axis in CAP-triggered autophagy. Our study not only demonstrated the selectivity of CAP against hepatocellular carcinoma malignancy and confirmed its roles as an onco-therapeutic tool but also opened the horizon of translating CAP into clinics toward a broader scope that included human longevity and anti-aging.
