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

X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) was found to be overexpressed in glioma and breast cancers, suggesting that XBP1 might act as a potent oncogenic protein. However, the clinical significance and biological role of XBP1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain unknown. In this study, we report that XBP1 is markedly overexpressed in ESCC cell lines and clinical samples. XBP1 overexpression was significantly correlated with ESCC tumor stage, lymph node metastasis and poor outcome. A functional study demonstrated that XBP1 promoted cell growth and cell invasion both in
