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
Copper is one of the essential micronutrients, and copper-containing enzymes contribute to crucial functions in the body. Lysyl oxidase is a copper-containing enzyme that remodels the extracellular matrix by cross-linking collagen and elastin. The overexpression of lysyl oxidase was recently shown to promote tumor metastasis. M2-like macrophages were also found to significantly accumulate in the tumor microenvironment, and correlated with a poor patient's outcome. We speculate that M2-like macrophages promote tumor progression via lysyl oxidase expression. Epigenetics, a mitotically heritable change in gene expression without any change in DNA sequencing, is also associated with tumor progression. However, the relationship between lysyl oxidase expression in M2-like macrophages and epigenetics remains unclear. Lysyl oxidase expression was significantly induced in human leukemic THP-1 cell-derived M2-like macrophages. Furthermore, the level of histone H3 tri-methylation at lysine 27 was decreased, and a pre-treatment with a H3K27 demethylase inhibitor notably suppressed lysyl oxidase expression in M2-like macrophages. Lysyl oxidase derived from M2-like macrophages also enhanced breast cancer cell migration, and this was suppressed by a H3K27 demethylase inhibitor. The present results suggest the mechanism of lysyl oxidase expression in M2-like macrophages as an aspect of epigenetics, particularly histone methylation.
