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: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare but extremely aggressive type of thyroid cancer derived from follicular cells of the thyroid gland. Due to the rapid growth of neck masses in ATC patients, which can lead to asphyxia, multimodality therapy, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, is essential in the treatment of ATC. Theaflavin (TF) has anti-cancer effects; however, no study has examined whether TF inhibits the malignant progression of ATC. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the effects of TF on ATC and to provide a preliminary exploration of its mechanism. Methods: The effects of TF on the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC Results: The IC Conclusions: This study found that TF inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ATC 8305C cells, and induces 8305C cell apoptosis by regulating lipid metabolism via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
