JAK2/STAT3 pathway as a therapeutic target in ovarian cancers.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 activation of JAK2/STAT3 pathway has been reported to have critical roles in several solid tumors. The present study aimed to evaluate the correlation between JAK2/STAT3 activation and clinicopathological parameters in ovarian cancer types. Tissue microarrays made from the patients treated at the National Defense Medical College Hospital between 1984 and 2008 were evaluated using immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings. Medical charts of these patients including IHC results were retrospectively analyzed, and prognostic factors for progression-free survival and overall survival were evaluated. Among 341 enrolled patients, positive expression of p-STAT3 was observed in 95 cases (28%). Positive p-STAT3 was an independent worse prognostic factor for overall survival in all the cases. Additionally, p-STAT3 expression was related with overall survival in patients with clear-cell histology, but not in serous histology. The effect of an inhibitor of STAT3, niclosamide, was evaluated in ovarian clear-cell cancer cells, and niclosamide treatment decreased expression of p-STAT3, leading to increased apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner
