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

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. This is commonly observed among older adults, and the occurrence of colon cancer is mainly influenced by unhealthy lifestyle factors. Edible medicinal mushrooms have been demonstrated to have anti-colon cancer effects both individually and in combination with conventional therapies, including synergistically enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy medications such as 5-fluorouracil in preclinical models. Medicinal mushrooms such as
