1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 present study aimed to determine the expression levels and biological functions of microRNA-202 (miR-202) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). A total of 60 patients with ESCC and 30 healthy individuals were enrolled and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to measure the expression levels of miR-202. In order to investigate the effects of miR-202 expression levels on the proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities of ESCC cells, methylthiazolyl-tetrazolium bromide proliferation,
