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

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play important roles in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and are a key component of the immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, the origin of CAFs has not been fully elucidated. We employed single-cell sequencing technology to identify the dynamic changes in different subsets of fibroblasts at different time points in rat primary HCC model. Inflammation-associated CAFs (Pdgfrα
