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

Both the prevalence and mortality of liver cancers continue to rise. Early surgical interventions, including liver transplantation or resection, remain the only curative treatment. Nerves in the periphery influence tumor growth within visceral organs. Emerging cancer neuroscience efforts linked parasympathetic vagus nerves with tumor pathology, underscoring the value of vagal nerve denervation methods within cancer mouse models. Here, we describe a selective hepatic vagotomy that largely maintains non-liver parasympathetic innervation in mice. To address vagal interactions in hepatic tumor pathology, we provide an adapted methodology utilizing an established liver metastatic model. We anticipate that this methodology will expand the burgeoning field of cancer neuroscience, enabling the study of the neuroimmune, neurometabolic, and/or nerve-microbiota interactions shaping liver cancer progression and treatment.
