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: Colon cancer is a prevalent condition with a high mortality rate on a global scale. Research has indicated that Citrus polymethoxyflavones (PMFs), a class of flavonoids found in Citrus, possess the potential to demonstrate anti-tumor efficacy. Ferroptosis a form of cell death that is dependent on iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Immunotherapy is one of the most commonly used anti-tumor modalities in a clinical setting. Consequently, studies on the pharmacodynamic mechanism of Citrus to determine whether it can modulate tumor immunity through ferroptosis provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of colon cancer. Purpose: The objective of this study is to ascertain whether Citrus inhibits Methods: The inhibitory effect of PMFs on colon cancer was proved by Results: Conclusion: It is conceivable that the tumor immune microenvironment may be subject to regulation during the inhibition of colon cancer through ferroptosis in PMFs. The ferroptosis-related gene
