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 the above paper, a concerned reader drew to the Editor's attention that, concerning the western blots shown in Fig. 2 on p. 340, the protein bands representing the LC3 II data in the two left‑hand lanes of Fig. 2A were strikingly similar to the two blots representing the P62 data in the left‑hand lanes of the gel slice shown in Fig. 2C, albeit the bands appeared to have been horizontally flipped, with horizontal and vertical resizing. After assessing this issue in the Editorial Office, the Editor  of
