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

As a transitional metal, copper plays a crucial role in maintaining the normal physiological activities of mammals. The intracellular copper concentration is meticulously regulated to maintain extremely low levels through homeostatic regulation. Excessive accumulation of free copper in cells can have deleterious effects, as observed in conditions such as Wilson's disease. Moreover, data accumulated over the past few decades have revealed a crucial role of copper imbalance in tumorigenesis, progression and metastasis. Recently, cuproptosis, also known as copper-induced cell death, has been proposed as a novel form of cell death. This discovery offers new prospects for treating copperrelated diseases and provides a promising avenue for developing copper-responsive therapies, particularly in cancer treatment. We present a comprehensive overview of the Yin- Yang equilibrium in copper metabolism, particularly emphasising its pathophysiological alterations and their relevance to copper-related diseases and malignancies.
