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

Pituitary tumor-transforming gene-1 (PTTG1) could acquire its metastasis-promoting effects via inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, its role and mechanism in EMT in esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) had not been clearly elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that PTTG1 was overexpressed in ESCC cell lines and tissues especially those with lymph node metastasis. Down regulation of PTTG1 levels dampened the ESCC cells invasion, migration, proliferation ability and colony formation
