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

backgroundProgrammed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is overexpressed in tumor cells, which promotes tumor cell survival and cell proliferation and causes tumor cells to escape T-cell killing. Schisanhenol, a biphenyl cyclooctene lignin-like compound, was extracted and isolated from the plant named PURPOSE: In this work, we studied the anticancer potential of schisanhenol and explored whether schisanhenol mediated its effect by inhibiting the expression of PD-L1 MATERIALS AND

methods

resultsWe found that schisanhenol decreased the viability of HCC cells. It inhibited the expression of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), which plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. Subsequently, schisanhenol suppressed the expression of PD-L1 by decreasing the activation of STAT3. Furthermore, we found that schisanhenol inhibited the activation of STAT3

conclusionSchisanhenol inhibits the proliferation of HCC cells by targeting PD-L1
