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
backgroundPatients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) have an increased incidence of malignancy due to decreased immunity. Soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), as an immunomodulator, seemed to have an effect in the process of malignancy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of increased sIL-2R in the course of malignancy among HD patients.
methodsPatients who undergoing chronic hemodialysis were followed for 24 months. Risk factors for malignancy events and malignancy-related mortality during the 2-year follow-up period were investigated among various clinicopathological variables.
resultsOf the 363 patients included in this research, 47 patients (12.95%) had a prior history of treated malignancy. During the 2-year follow-up period, malignancy events were detected in 15 (4.12%) patients. Sixty-seven patients died during the study period, of which nine patients (13.43%) were died of malignancy. Malignancy events reduced 2-year mortality significantly (log-rank = 23.02, P < 0.0001). Both high sIL-2R levels ( ≥ 2-fold upper limit of the normal value) (OR 6.6, P = 0.006) and a prior history of treated malignancy (OR 4.12, P = 0.018)were identified by multivariate logistic analysis as independent determinants for malignancy events. However, only the levels of sIL-2R (used as a continuous variable) had the significantly predictive effect on malignancy events and malignancy-related mortality in the following 2 years.
conclusionsElevated sIL-2R levels was commonly seen in serum of HD patients. And this elevated level increased the risk of malignancy. Aside from its role as a biomarker, sIL-2R may also exert biological effects in the course of malignancy.
