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

introductionMethyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3), in complex with METTL14, is the key 'writer' protein for RNA m AREAS COVERED: This review provides an overview of the patent literature covering METTL3 inhibitors. A literature search was conducted in SciFinder by using 'METTL3 inhibitor' as a keyword and was refined by narrowing the criteria to patents. EXPERT OPINION: Efforts to develop METTL3/METTL14 inhibitors have led to the advancement of the drug candidate STC-15 to clinical trials. Preclinical studies of STC-15 show promise in inhibiting tumor growth via direct anti-tumor effects and anti-cancer immune responses. The clinical trial outcomes of STC-15 will shape future METTL3/METTL14 inhibitor development. However, critical questions remain. The role of METTL3/METTL14 in m
