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

Cancer is one of the leading causes of disease-related death worldwide, and targeting key regulatory genes to induce programmed cell death in tumor cells has emerged as a crucial therapeutic strategy, following surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. As a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, NIX/BNIP3L can both mediate apoptosis to inhibit tumor cell growth and promote tumor cell survival by clearing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) through mitophagy. Therefore, we summarize a brief overview of the structure and function of NIX/BNIP3L, as well as the mechanisms of NIX/BNIP3L generation and degradation, the role of NIX/BNIP3L in mediating apoptosis and mitophagy and to advance the understanding of the roles of NIX/BNIP3L in glioblastoma, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer and hematologic neoplasms, aiming to enhance treatment precision and improve patient outcomes.
