Chemoproteomics reveals berberine directly binds to PKM2 to inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer.
Article in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Colorectal cancer is one of the most serious tumors and berberine can inhibit the recurrence and transformation of colorectal adenoma into colorectal cancer. However, the direct binding target proteins of berberine in inhibiting colorectal cancer remain unclear. In this study, the chemical proteomics method was used and demonstrated that berberine is directly bound to pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2) in colorectal cancer cells. The triangular N-
