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

Melanoma is a potentially fatal form of skin cancer with great metastatic potential. THOC2 plays a vital role in human biological progression, however, the roles of THOC2 in melanoma tumorigenesis are still unknown. In the present study, our data demonstrated that THOC2 expression was significantly increased in melanoma tissues, and high THOC2 expression was associated with poor overall survival of melanoma patients. THOC2 reduction repressed melanoma cell proliferation and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis in vitro. Microarray data revealed that the cAMP signaling pathway was significantly downregulated in A375 cells transfected with si-
