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

Although tsRNA has been demonstrated to modulate various physiological processes analogous to miRNA, the potential regulatory functions and mechanisms of tsRNAs related to the pharmacological effects of small molecule drugs remain unclear. Herein, it is shown that eurycomalactone (ELT), a natural product, can reversibly switch hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) PLC/PRF/5 and HUH7 cells into a quiescent state. This quiescence is characterized by cell proliferation inhibition without cytotoxicity, cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase, and cell reactivation following the removal of ELT. Given the established role of β-catenin activity in mediating cancer cellular quiescence or proliferation, a notable reduction in total, cytoplasmic, and nuclear β-catenin expression, along with its downstream targets Survivin, c-myc, and Cyclin D1, was observed in ELT-treated cells. Subsequently, two new tsRNAs, namely 5'tRF
