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
Cervical cancer is a common cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Mounting evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function vitally in many cancers. In this study, we discovered that the regulation of the heart and neural crest derivatives expressed 2-antisense RNA 1 (HAND2-AS1) in cervical cancer. RT-qPCR was conducted to detect the expression of HAND2-AS1 and microRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p). The relationship of HAND2-AS1 and miR-21-5p was identified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. The roles of HAND2-AS1, miR-21-5p and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP3) in cervical cancer were accessed via gain- and loss-of-function approaches. The expression of related proteins in the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) signaling pathway was detected through Western blot analysis. Finally, xenografts of cervical cancer in nude mice were established to assess the effect of HAND2-AS1 on tumorigenesis in vivo. HAND2-AS1 and TIMP3 were downregulated in cervical cancer, which were identified to be associated with a poor prognosis of patients with cervical cancer. Moreover, HAND2-AS1 was upregulated the expression of TIMP3 through competitively binding to miR-21-5p. Overexpressed HAND2-AS1 or downregulated miR-21-5p inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting cell apoptosis, in association with increased expression of proteins in VEGFA signaling pathway. These changes were reversed by silencing of TIMP3. Overexpressed HAND2-AS1 reduced the tumor formation ability in nude mice. In summary, HAND2-AS1 may exert inhibitory effects on cervical cancer cell growth and cervical cancer development through its regulation on the miR-21-5p/TIMP3/VEGFA axis. This highlights that HAND2-AS1 may serve as a potential target for cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment.
