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
Survivin has been shown to be an ideal target for cancer gene therapy because of its strong antiapoptotic effect. MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) can function as a tumor suppressor in some cancers through negative regulation of gene expression. However, the relationship between miR-34a and survivin in larynx squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has not been explored. The abundance of survivin mRNA and miR-34a in LSCC tissues were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Their expression levels were analyzed and correlated with tumor differentiation, lymphatic metastasis, clinical stages, and survival rates. MiR-34a mimic was transfected using liposomes to increase its level in LSCC cancer cell line, Hep-2. The effects of miR-34a on survivin protein expression were tested using western blot analysis. Cell cycle analyses were performed using flow cytometry. The results showed that transfection of miR-34a mimic significantly suppressed cell proliferation with decreased survivin protein expression, but did not affect mRNA expression level. The results from LSCC tissue samples showed that miR-34a was downregulated, while survivin expression was upregulated. The miR-34a levels were negatively correlated with histologic differentiation and were positively correlated with survival rate. MiR-34a significantly suppressed cell proliferation by arresting cells at G0/G1 phase in Hep-2 cells. These results indicated that miR-34a may affect the occurrence of LSCC by targeting survivin.
