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

Certain types of cancer exhibit downregulated expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), which serves an important function in tumor progression; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms that lead to this downregulation in cancer remain unclear. In the present study, the expression of ZO-1 in liver cancer (LC) tissues was investigated. Western blot and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays were used to detect the expression of ZO-1 protein and mRNA in LC tissues and paired adjacent non-tumorous tissues. The results indicated that, compared with non-tumorous tissues, the expression of ZO-1 was significantly downregulated at the protein (P<0.001) and mRNA (P=0.006) levels in LC tissue samples. In addition, various cellular and molecular methods were applied, including MTT, colony formation, flow cytometry and Transwell assays. The results indicated that overexpression of ZO-1 inhibited cell viability, proliferation and migration, and induced G
