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

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that certain of the western blot data shown in Fig. 8A and two panels of the Transwell assay data shown in Fig. 5B were strikingly similar to data that subsequently appeared in a pair of other publications. In addition, in Fig. 1C, the data panels shown for the KYSE150 and EC9706 cell lines, and also for the ECA‑109 and HET‑1A cell lines, were found to be overlapping, such that data which were intended to have shown the results from four cell lines appeared to have been derived from only two cell lines; in Fig. 2E, the same image was apparently included for the 'Control' colony formation assay experiments for the two different cell lines investigated (ECA‑109 and KYSE150); and possible anomalies were identified with the western blot data in Fig. 3C.  After having performed an independent review of the data in the Editorial Office, the Editor of
