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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, and chemotherapy resistance along with adverse reactions during treatment present significant challenges in clinical practice. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find effective and low-toxicity therapeutic agents. Ferroptosis, a recently discovered form of cell death, has attracted attention as a potential new cancer treatment strategy. Microwave dynamic therapy (MWDT), as a promising anticancer agent, has been shown to significantly inhibit various malignancies, including CRC. However, the role of MWDT in ferroptosis and its underlying mechanisms have not been fully explored. In this study, we demonstrated that MWDT treatment significantly increased levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Fe
