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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveEpithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is considered to be one of the major molecular mechanisms inducing tumor invasion and metastasis. The loss of epithelial cell polarity is a hallmark of the EMT process. Epithelial markers such as Claudin are lost in EMT. Snail is a major transcription factor governing EMT. Recent studies about the mechanism of tumor invasion and metastasis has proven that Snail could enhance the ability of many tumors' invasiveness. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of Snail and Claudin-3 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its metastatic lymph node with tissue microarray technique, and to explore clinical significance of these two molecules expression in NSCLC.
methodsSnail and Claudin-3 proteins were detected in cases of 59 adjacent normal lung tissues, 302 cases of primary NSCLC and 57 cases of lymph node metastatic tissues by MaxVision and EnVision method of immunohistochemical staining respectively.
resultsThe expression of Snail in adjacent normal lung tissues, NSCLC primary foci and metastatic lymph node appeared upward tendency (P<0.05), and the expression of Claudin-3 in adjacent normal lung tissues, NSCLC primary foci and metastatic lymph node appeared weakened (P<0.05). Further more, expression 1evel of Snail and Claudin-3 proteins in NSCLC were related to the histological type (P<0.05). The Spearman correlation analysis showed that the expression of Snail and Claudin-3 was negatively correlated (r=-0.178, P=0.002). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that factors such as the tumor size, histological type, grading, metastasis, TNM staging, and difference expression between two proteins were associated with the postoperative survival rate of NSCLC patients (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis using Cox regression model identified that the tumor size, histological type, grading, metastasis and TNM staging were independent prognostic factors of NSCLC patients (P<0.05).
conclusionsSnail and Claudin-3 may play important roles in invasion and metastasis in NSCLC, So might be employed to evaluate the prognosis of NSCLC patients.
