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

For a long time, D-amino acids remained unexplored in mammalian physiology. The technological advances in enantioseparation over the past 50 years have revealed that D-amino acids not only exist in human tissues and fluids but also play important roles in neurotransmission, immune regulation, and cellular proliferation. The present review provides a comprehensive assessment of the role of D-amino acids in cancer, including their endogenous and exogenous production pathways, along with the analytical methodologies used for detection and quantification, from liquid chromatography to biosensors. These methods have underlined how altered levels of D-amino acids can be helpful in early detection, progression, or response to treatment in several malignancies, including gastric, hepatic, colorectal, or breast cancer. The present review also explores how manipulation of D-amino acids can regulate cell proliferation, their mechanisms in cancer regulation, including the modulation of
