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.
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
The current study was undertaken to investigate chromosomal and genetical aberrations leading to overexpression of Topoisomerase-2α (TOP2α) and to reveal the possible association of these aberrations with HER2/neu overexpression and gene amplification, and to search for the relationship between TOP2α and HER2/neu status with prognostical biomarkers in papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a group of tumors with diverse molecular, chromosomal and clinical features. Archival cases of papillary RCC obtained from Departments of Pathology of Pamukkale, Ege and Dokuz Eylul Universities were studied in two groups (type 1 and type 2) each containing 20 cases. The level of TOP2α and HER2/neu expression by tumor cells were determined immunohistochemically. A multicolor FISH probe was used to define both amplification of HER2/neu and TOP2α genes, and polysomy 17. The ratio of cells expressing TOP2α in type 1 and type 2 papillary RCC were 24.29% and 6.89%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant comparing the average or median values of groups separately (p = 0.002). The expression levels of TOP2α and HER2/neu were also correlated. TOP2α and HER2/neu were co-amplified in both groups. Immunohistochemical expression was not observed in 15 of 23 cases with HER2/neu amplification. The most frequent finding detected by FISH method was polysomy of chromosome 17. We had contradictory results compared with the findings reported in the limited numbers of literature. It shows us that papillary RCC constitute a heterogenous group of tumors with various cytogenetic features and morphological classification of these tumors may not be compatible with their molecular characteristics.
