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

Colon cancer (COAD) is one of the common malignant tumors in the gastrointestinal tract; it is urgent to deeply study the mechanism of COAD and develop new therapeutic agents, which will provide new hope for improving the therapeutic efficacy and prolonging the survival of patients. Mitochondria are crucial organelles that play an important role in COAD, participating in cellular energy and material metabolism and playing a key role in the regulation of cell death, making mitochondria a potential target for COAD therapy. In this study, we designed an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that can target tumor cells and act on mitochondria. The AMP is taken up by tumor cells and can achieve colocalization with mitochondria, reducing the mitochondrial membrane potential levels in tumor cells and inducing ferroptosis. The AMP affects N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification in cells and participates in the regulation of ferroptosis. During in vivo experiments on COAD, the AMP demonstrated a strong ability to inhibit tumor growth and good biosafety. Unlike peptide-drug conjugates that rely on toxin release, the synthetic AMP exerts direct targeted activity with improved biosafety and efficiency. The AMP effectively suppresses the development of COAD, providing a new reference method for the treatment of COAD.
