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
aim of the studyExpression of EP2 protein, the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor, produced by tumour microenvironment inflammatory cells as well as tumour cells, may promote cellular proliferation and growth in an autocrine and paracrine fashion. The phenomenon involving these proteins is regulated by interleukin 1β (IL-1β). Many researchers indicate a connection of EP2 and IL-1β in various types of neoplasms with higher tumour progression and poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to analyse the EP2 expression within laryngeal carcinoma tissue and IL-1β levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cell supernatants and to find relationships between clinicomorphological features. MATERIAL AND
methodsA group of 50 patients with verified squamous cell laryngeal carcinoma was analysed in this study. The pathological evaluation included pTNM depth of invasion according to tumour front grading criteria. Immunohistochemical analysis for membranous staining of EP2 in tumour tissues was used. The IL-1β expression was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
resultsIncreased EP2 expression in carcinoma cells was confirmed for more advanced tumours (pT3-pT4 vs. pT1-pT2, p < 0.0001 and pN1-3 vs. pN0, p = 0.02). Tumours with the highest aggressiveness identified by deeper invasion of submucosa or cartilage were characterised by the highest expression of EP2 (p < 0.0001). In laryngeal carcinomas characterised by a lower differentiation the highest EP2 expression in tumour cells was noted (p = 0.009). A positive relationship between IL-1β expression and the presence of lymph node metastases was also confirmed (p = 0.04).
conclusionsThe study indicates the potential effect of EP2 receptor and IL-1β on tumour progression in laryngeal carcinoma.
