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

Small nucleolar RNA host gene 20 (SNHG20) has been reported to serve roles in several types of malignancies, while its role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma remains unknown. In the present study, tumor tissues and adjacent healthy tissues of patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, as well as blood samples from patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and heathy controls were collected, and expression levels of SNHG20 were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Receiver operating characteristic curve and survival curve analyses were performed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic values of SNHG20 expression for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, respectively. Associations between serum expression levels of SNHG20 and clinical data of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were analyzed using χ
