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

Tyrosine kinase receptor macrophage stimulating 1 receptor (MST1R, also known as RON) contributes to the transformation and malignant progression observed in epithelial cells. The purpose of the present study is to assess the value of RON as a potential target in bladder cancer (BC) therapeutics. The expression profile of RON in BC tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues was detected via immunohistochemistry. The rate of positive RON expression differed significantly between bladder urothelial cancer tissues (54.7%) and paraneoplastic tissues (29.4%) (P<0.05). RON expression was positively associated with the number of tumors per patient, histological grading, pathological stage and distant metastasis (all P<0.05). Downregulation of RON expression using small interfering RNAs inhibited cell growth, cell migration and promoted cell apoptosis in the 5637 cell line. RON inhibition induced cell cycle arrest at the G
