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: Chinese holly ( Methods: In the present study, a panel of molecular biological approaches, including CCK8 assay, colony formation assay, transwell assay, cell cycle profiling, apoptosis detection, flow cytometry, IHC, Western blot, qPCR, RNAseq and metabonomics were utilized to systematically explore the regulatory effects of CHF on proliferative behaviors and immune evasion potential of melanoma cells. Results and Discussion: We found that Chinese holly fruit (abbreviated as CHF) extract suppresses the proliferative activity of melanoma by activating the P53-P21 signaling pathway, which downregulates the expression of CDK2 and cyclin family members. Meanwhile, CHF promotes apoptosis by upregulating FAS and GADD45A. Metabolomic profiling revealed that differential metabolites induced by CHF extract treatment were enriched in glucose metabolism, energy metabolism, and the AMPK signaling pathway. Furthermore, CHF extract inhibits PD-L1 expression by suppressing the JAK2-STAT1 signaling pathway, thereby increasing the infiltration of CD3
