High infiltration of CD68-tumor associated macrophages, predict poor prognosis in Kazakh esophageal cancer patients.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), the most important immune cells in tumor microenvironment, were reported to play a key role in cancer progression, but the correlation of TAMs and Kazakh esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) was still not clear, so we sought to identify the function of TAMs in Kazakh ESCC clinicopathological and prognostic evaluation. CD68 as the TAMs marker, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to quantify
