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
Long non-coding RNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) functions as an oncogene in different human cancers, including melanoma. However, the molecular mechanism of UCA1 underlying melanoma progression still remains largely unknown. In the present study, reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses were used to examine the mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively. Cell Counting Kit-8 and wound healing assays were conducted to study cell proliferation and migration, respectively. A luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the targeting relationship. It was demonstrated that UCA1 expression was increased in melanoma tissues and cell lines. In addition, UCA1 expression was higher in melanoma tissues at stage III-IV than in tissues at stage I-II. Inhibition of UCA1 expression markedly reduced melanoma cell proliferation and migration. Further investigation revealed that UCA1 functioned in melanoma cells through directly binding with microRNA (miR)-28-5p. The expression of miR-28-5p was significantly reduced in melanoma tissues and had an inverse correlation with UCA1 expression. In addition, miR-28-5p expression was higher in melanoma tissues at advanced stages than in stage I-II tissues. Furthermore, homeobox (HOX)B3 was identified as a target gene of miR-28-5p in melanoma cells, and HOXB3 overexpression reversed the suppressive effects of UCA1 downregulation on melanoma cell proliferation and migration. Finally, HOXB3 was upregulated in melanoma tissues compared with its expression in adjacent tissues, and HOXB3 expression was increased in melanoma tissues at advanced stages. Taken together, the regulatory network of the UCA1/miR-28-5p/HOXB3 axis in melanoma was demonstrated for the first time in the present study, expanding the understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying melanoma progression. Future studies may further confirm the function of this signaling pathway
