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 present study aimed to evaluate the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER4) isoforms and their ligand neuregulin 1 (NRG1) isoforms in human primary colorectal cancer (CRC). The mRNA expression of HER4 isoforms JM-a, JM-b, CYT1 and CYT2, and their ligand isoforms NRG1 I, II and III in CRC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were quantified by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the association between HER4 and NRG1 expression and lymph node metastasis in CRC. The expression levels of CYT1 (P=0.002), CYT2 (P=0.002) and NRG1 type III (P<0.001) were significantly higher in the CRC tissues than in the adjacent normal tissues. The expression of CYT2 was correlated with tumor stage (P=0.018), lymph node status (P=0.015) and tumor-node-metastasis (P=0.038) in CRC. The expression of NRG1III was correlated with lymph node metastasis, and the expression of CYT2 was associated with the expression of NRG1III (r=0.691, P<0.01). The logistic regression analysis indicated that expression of CYT2 >50 was a risk factor for lymph node metastasis in CRC. In conclusion the expression levels of CYT1, CYT2 and NRG1III were upregulated in CRC. An expression of CYT-2 >50 was identified as a risk factor for lymph node metastasis in CRC. Therefore, CY-2 and NRG1III may be involved in the progression of CRC.
