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

Hepatic cancer is the leading cause of worldwide death due to lack of effective chemotherapy drugs. Cuproptosis is a novel regulated cell death and offers a new potential mechanism to eliminate hepatic cancer. In this study, it is found that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is one of the hepatic cancer, is sensitive to cuproptosis by analysing clinical specimens and databases. Thus, a copper-based nanotube (NT) with copper ionophores to induce enhanced cuproptosis is designed. In combination with starvation therapy, the NT significantly inhibited energy metabolism in HCC cells. This results show that the depletion of GSH by Cu
