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

backgroundB-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF)

methodsWe first performed a large-scale drug screening using patient-derived organoid models and cell lines to pinpoint potential therapies. Subsequently, we investigated the synergistic effects of identified effective inhibitors and probed their cooperative mechanisms. Concurrently, we explored the immune characteristics of BRAF

resultsDrug screening identified histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor as significantly effective against BRAF

conclusionsOur findings indicate that combining HDAC inhibitor, MEK inhibitor, and PD-1 blockade is a potential strategy for treating BRAF
