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

The long non-coding RNA XIST is a long non-coding RNA that associates with polycomb repressive complex 2 to regulate X-chromosome inactivation in female mammals. The biological roles as well as the underlying mechanisms of XIST in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma remained yet to be solved. Our data indicated that XIST was significantly upregulated in esophageal squamous cancerous tissues and cancer cell lines, as compared with that in the corresponding non-cancerous tissues and immortalized normal squamous epithelial cells. High XIST expression predicted poor prognosis of esophageal squamous cancer patients. Lentivirus mediated knockdown of XIST inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion of esophageal squamous cancer cells
