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
Malignant tumors consist of both carcinoma cells and tumor associated host cells. Host cells has started to receive more attention regarding their role in tumor progression such as invasion and metastasis. Fibroblasts that are incorporated in the tumoral stroma are called as peritumoral fibroblasts, reactive stroma, cancer-related fibroblasts or myofibroblasts. In general fibroblasts next to nich of cancer cells express alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) which is an important marker for differentiated myofibroblasts. Our aim is to investigate the role of α-SMA positive myofibroblasts in the development and progression of laryngeal carcinoma. The proportion of α-SMA positive myofibroblasts are scored from (1 +) to 3( +) in laryngeal dysplasia (n = 17) and microinvasive and invasive squamous cell carcinoma (n = 66). α-SMA expression in invasive carcinoma and dysplasia was analyzed statistically. No stromal myofibroblast was detected in mild dysplasia (score 0). Among 12 cases of moderate-severe dysplasia, in only 3 cases low α-SMA expression (score 1) was observed and in 9 cases there were no stromal myofibroblasts (score 0) were. In most cases of invasive carcinoma, high α-SMA expression (score 2, 3) was seen. α-SMA positive stromal myofibroblasts were significantly higher in invasive laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma compared to dysplasia (
