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 functions of B-cell CLL/lymphoma 7B (BCL7B) are unknown and the protein lacks any known functional domains. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of BCL7B in the motility and invasiveness of pancreatic cancer cells. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine whether high BCL7B expression in human pancreatic cancer tissues is correlated with poor prognosis. High BCL7B expression was an independent predictor of worse overall survival of pancreatic cancer patients. Immunocytochemistry showed that BCL7B was accumulated in cell protrusions of migrating pancreatic cancer cells. Knockdown of BCL7B inhibited the motility and invasiveness of pancreatic cancer cells through a decrease in cell protrusions. Phosphoprotein array analysis was performed to determine BCL7B-associated intracellular signaling pathways. Suppression of
