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

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS) is a rare disorder caused by germline mutations in the tumour suppressor gene PTEN, a key negative regulator of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signalling. Children with PHTS often develop lipomas, for which only surgical resection is available as treatment. We investigated the effects of the selective PI3K-inhibitor alpelisib on Pten-deficient lipomas. After incubation with alpelisib or the non-selective PI3K inhibitor wortmannin, we analysed histology, gene expression, and Pi3k pathway in lipoma and control epididymal adipose tissue (epiWAT). Alpelisib increased adipocyte area in lipomas compared to epiWAT. Baseline gene expression showed higher levels of markers for proliferation (
