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

Digestive system cancers are common cancers with high cancer deaths worldwide. They have become a major threat to public health and economic burden. As one of the most universal RNA modifications in eukaryotes, the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is involved in the occurrence, development, prognosis, and treatment response of various cancers, including digestive system cancers. M6A demethylases shape the m6A landscape dynamically, playing important roles in cancers. In addition, accumulating evidence reveal that many environmental toxicants are the established risk factors for digestive system cancers and associated with m6A modification. In this review, we summarize the multiple functions of M6A demethylases (fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) and AlkB homolog 3 (ALKBH3)) in digestive system cancers, which are aberrantly expressed and affect cancer progression. We also discuss the potential roles of m6A demethylases in the assessment of environmental exposure, the signature for prevention and diagnosis of digestive system cancers.
