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
While the aberrant expression and the controversial results of serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase (SGK1) have been reported in a number of malignancies, the expression of SGK1 and its possible association with the progression of adenocarcinoma in the esophagogastric junction (AEG) remain to be elucidated. To the best of our knowledge, the expression and localization of SGK1 was examined for the first time in the present study in cancerous and adjacent tissue from 60 patients with AEG, and compared with 20 healthy mucosa control tissue samples. Furthermore, the association between SGK1 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics, and prognosis of patients with AEG was statistically analyzed. The expression level of SGK1 was identified to be significantly higher (P<0.0001) in the cancerous AEG tissue samples (65%) compared with that of the adjacent tissue (31.7%) and healthy control (10%) samples. Enhanced SGK1 was primarily localized in the cytoplasm and the expression level of SGK1 was associated with the differentiation (P=0.045) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.006) of AEG. Notably, increased expression of SGK1 was demonstrated to be significantly correlated with poor overall survival (P=0.027). The results of the present study revealed the expression profile of SGK1 in AEG and demonstrated that SGK1 expression in cancerous tissue is an indicator for the progression of AEG. Thus, SGK1 may be a potential molecular marker for the diagnosis, interference therapy and prognosis of AEG.
