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

Tumor initiation and metastatic progression are driven by context-dependent genetic alterations that disrupt tumor suppressor pathways, metabolic homeostasis, and signaling networks. However, the initial drivers that transform normal cells into malignant ones and their context dependency remain elusive. To address this, we aimed to systematically identify and characterize these drivers across cancer types, species, and microenvironments. We constructed customized clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) knockout (KO) libraries targeting high-frequency mutated and downregulated genes associated with liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) and breast carcinoma (BRCA) and conducted parallel functional screens in non-cancerous mouse and human fibroblast cell lines under two-dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D), and in vivo conditions. Strikingly,
