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

Background: Aberrant mitochondrial metabolism is a key source of massive mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) in tumour cells. Arginase-II (Arg-II), a widely expressed mitochondrial metabolic enzyme, has recently been shown to enhance mtROS production and melanoma progression. However, how Arg-II enhances mtROS and whether mtROS is involved in stimulation of cancer cell proliferation and migration remain unclear. Methods and results: Here, we show that ablation of Conclusion: Altogether, our findings demonstrate a critical role of Arg-II-Sirt3-mtROS cascade in promoting melanoma growth, migration, nuclear deformation, and DNA damage linking to melanoma progression and malignancy, which could be therapeutic targets for cancers such as melanoma and lung carcinoma.
