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

The RNA methyltransferase NSUN2 has been involved in the cell proliferation and senescence, and is upregulated in various types of cancers. However, the role and potential mechanism of NSUN2 in gastric cancer remains to be determined. Our study showed that NSUN2 was significantly upregulated in gastric cancers, compared to adjacent normal gastric tissues. Moreover, NSUN2 could promote gastric cancer cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Further study demonstrated that CDKN1C (p57
