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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effect of Sox3 expression on biological behaviors of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and explore its possible mechanism.

methodsESCC cell lines that highly expressed Sox3 were selected and transfected with lentivirus carrying sox3 siRNA to establish ESCC cell lines which expressed Sox3 of different levels. Using

resultsThe high expression of Sox3 in ESCC cells

conclusionsIt is suggested that Sox3 possibly induces lymphangiogenesis by increasing the expression of VEGF-C/D in ESCC cells, thereby promoting the lymph node metastasis of the tumor. Thus, Sox-3 may become a new prognostic marker and therapeutic target in ESCC.
