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

Ribonucleotide reductase subunit M2 (RRM2) is associated with the biological behaviours of cancers, including apoptosis, cell proliferation, invasion, cell cycle and migration. Previous studies have suggested that the expression of RRM2 plays critical roles in tumorigenesis in several cancer types. However, the precise molecular mechanism remains unknown. We previously identified RRM2 as a novel downstream target that is activated by human papillomavirus E7, which activates the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 signalling pathway, but further studies are warranted to establish RRM2 as a therapeutic target. The results of the present study indicate that RRM2 is associated with cervical cancer cell apoptosis and proliferation. The downregulation of RRM2 significantly increased apoptosis, promoted cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase
