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

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with bone metastasis is challenging to treat due to an immunosuppressive microenvironment and the limited, transient immune activation from conventional external beam radiotherapy. Inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) offers a strategy to remodel this environment, but its systemic effects remain to be validated. Here, we investigate iodine-125 ( Methods: A dual-tumor model of 4T1 mouse breast cancer with tibial bone metastasis and distal subcutaneous implantation was established. The therapeutic efficacy of Results: This study confirmed that Discussion: This study demonstrates that
