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
β-1,3-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase 8 (β3GnT8) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the formation of polylactosamine glycan structures by transferring GlcNAc to tetra-antennary β1-6-branched N-glycans, and it has been reported to participate in tumor invasion and metastasis by regulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) and polylactosamine. By contrast, the role of transcription factor c-Jun in cell cycle progression has been well established. c-Jun has an important role in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. However, the precise molecular mechanisms by which c-Jun regulates these processes in colorectal carcinoma cells are not fully elucidated. In the present study, c-Jun had a significant effect on the invasive and migratory abilities of SW480 and LoVo cells. Additionally, overexpression of c-Jun was able to increase the expression of β3GnT8, MMPs, CD147 and polylactosamine. Similarly, knockdown of c-Jun was able to decrease the expression of β3GnT8, MMPs, CD147 and polylactosamine. These results suggest that c-Jun is able to regulate colorectal carcinoma cell invasion and metastasis via β3GnT8. A chromatin immunoprecipitation assay indicated that c-Jun is able to bind directly to the promoter regions of β3GnT8 in SW480 and LoVo cells. This leads to transcriptional activation of β3GnT8, which in turn regulates the expression of tumor invasion and metastasis-associated genes. The results of the present study demonstrate a novel mechanism underlying colorectal carcinoma cell invasion and metastasis, where β3GnT8 is transcriptionally activated via c-Jun binding to its promoter.
