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
Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease-1 (APE-1), a key enzyme responsible for DNA base excision repair (BER), has been linked to cancer chemoradiosensitivity. The phosphorylation of p65 plays a role in the activation of this pathway. In this study, we investigated APE-1 expression and its interaction with p65 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissue. The expression of APE-1, p65, p65 nuclear localization sequence (p65-NLS), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis in 67 human ESCC tissue samples. Real-time PCR and western blotting were also performed. p65 siRNA was evaluated to determine the role of p65 in the regulation of APE-1 expression. We found nuclear localization of APE-1 in 89.6% (60/67) of ESCC tissue samples. We also observed the colocalization of p65-NLS and APE-1 in esophageal cancer tissue. In KYSE220 cells, pretreatment of MG-132 significantly abrogated upregulation of p65 and APE-1 levels induced by MCP-1, and treatment with 10 and 20 nM p65 siRNA significantly inhibited APE-1 mRNA expression. siRNA for p65 treatment significantly increased the apoptotic index in 5-FU-treated KYSE220 cells. We conclude that APE-1 is overexpressed and mainly localized in the nuclear compartment of cancer cells, and partly regulated by p65 in the NF-κB pathway in ESCC tissue.
