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

Targeting mitochondrial metabolism represents a novel approach in the discovery and development of anti-tumor drugs. Celastrol (Cel) is a naturally-derived small molecule from Tripterygium wilfordii with significant anticancer activities. In this study, we investigated the anti-tumor mechanisms involving mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming regulated by Cel in breast cancer (BRCA). We showed that Cel potently inhibited the proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and ER
