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
Homeobox B5 (HOXB5), a member of the HOX gene family, has been shown to play an important role in tumor progression. However, the expression and functional role of HOXB5 in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been defined. Thus, the purpose of this study was to elucidate the expression and functional role of HOXB5 in human NSCLC. Our results showed that HOXB5 expression was elevated in human NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that knockdown of HOXB5 inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion and prevented the EMT phenotype in NSCLC cells. In vivo experiments indicated that knockdown of HOXB5 attenuated the growth of NSCLC xenografts in vivo. Furthermore, knockdown of HOXB5 suppressed the protein expression levels of β-catenin and its downstream targets c-Myc and cyclin D1 in A549 cells. Taken together, for the first time we have shown that knockdown of HOXB5 significantly inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and EMT, partly through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. These findings suggest that HOXB5 may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of NSCLC.
