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

Background: Metformin has pleiotropic effects beyond glucose reduction, including tumor inhibition and immune regulation. It enhanced the anti-tumor effects of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors in serine/threonine kinase 11 ( Methods: We performed untargeted metabolomics using liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS system and conducted cell experiments to verify the results of bioinformatics analysis. Results: According to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway database, most metabolites were annotated into metabolism, including nucleotide metabolism. Next, the differentially expressed metabolites in H460 (refers to H460 cells), H460_met (refers to metformin-treated H460 cells), and H460_KO_met (refers to metformin-treated Conclusion: Relying on AXIN1, metformin upregulated multiple nucleotide metabolites which promoted STING signaling and the killing of activated T cells in
