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

Gallbladder cancer (GBC), the most common malignancy of the biliary tract, exhibits a high propensity for lymphatic system invasion. However, the mechanisms underlying lymphatic metastasis in GBC remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that C-C motif chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21) is significantly upregulated in GBC and positively correlates with lymphatic vessel density and lymph node metastasis. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirm that CCL21/CCR7 axis promotes lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis in GBC. Mechanistically, CCL21/CCR7 modulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-D (VEGF-D) mRNA N6-Methyladenosine (m
