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 treatment of gastric cancer remains challenging, with immunotherapy serving as a critical component of the holistic approach to its treatment. The results of this study indicated that statins could decrease the serum levels of interleukin-enhancing binding factor 3 (ILF3) and programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) in GC patients and improve their prognosis. Functional experiments demonstrated that simvastatin induced ferroptosis by inhibiting ILF3 in GC cells and enhanced the killing effect of activated CD8
