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 pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a transcription factor regulating genes involved not only in pharmacokinetics but also in chemotherapy resistance and cancer progression. The significance of PXR for survival of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients is unknown so far. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PXR-encoding NR1I2 gene influence receptor functionality and inducibility by ligands and thus modulate expression and activity of its target genes. In this study, seven SNPs in the NR1I2 gene were investigated for an association with PXR protein expression and survival of HNSCC patients. Genotyping was conducted using hybridisation probe format methodology. PXR protein expression was quantified by immunohistochemistry of tissue microarray samples of HNSCC biopsies. Genotypes were correlated to PXR protein expression by a linear model regressing on the continuous gene expression value and a Cox model regressing on overall survival times. Haplotype analysis was performed by reconstruction of haplotypes from genotype information according to the expectation-maximisation algorithm. Of all tested SNPs, rs1054190 and rs1054191 allele variants tended to correlate with a reduced protein expression score of PXR (p = 0.088). Four haplotypes, each consisting of two SNPs, rs3814055/rs1054190 and rs3814055/rs1054191 as well as rs1523127/rs1054190 and rs1523127/rs1054191, showed a significant reduction of the PXR expression score (p = 0.049 and p = 0.032). However, neither allele variants nor haplotypes influenced overall survival of the respective patients. Certain NR1I2 SNPs showed an impact on PXR protein expression in HNSCC but did not influence overall survival times, questioning their value as prognostic biomarkers.
