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

The disorder of lipid metabolism is pathologically linked to hyperlipidemia, lipid storage disease, obesity and other related diseases. Intriguingly, recent studies have revealed that lipid metabolism disorders play an important role in carcinogenesis and development as well, since they cause abnormal expression of various genes, proteins, and dysregulation of cytokines and signaling pathways. More importantly, lipid-lowering drugs and anti-lipid per-oxidation treatment have been showing their advantages in clinic, in comparison with other anti-cancer drugs with high toxicity. Thus, further elucidation of molecular mechanism between lipid metabolism and cancer is essential in developing novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of human cancers.
