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

Digestive system malignancies, including gastric, colorectal, and liver cancers, account for a substantial proportion of global cancer morbidity and mortality. Despite advancements in conventional treatment strategies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgical resection, and immunotherapy, clinical outcomes remain unsatisfactory due to limited therapeutic efficacy, severe side effects, and poor patient prognosis. Therefore, the development of more effective and less toxic treatment options is urgently needed. Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a natural chalcone-type flavonoid primarily extracted from licorice (
