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
Atherogenesis is a chronic inflammatory process, closely related to high morbidity and mortality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) were reported to function in atherosclerosis. However, the functional impact of circRNA ubiquitin-specific Protease 36 (circ_USP36) on atherosclerosis and the possible mechanism are still unclear. Serum specimens were collected from atherosclerosis patients and healthy volunteers. Human umbilical vein smooth muscle cells (HUVSMCs) exposed with 25 μg/mL oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) were utilized to simulate atherosclerosis. Expression of circ_USP36, microRNA (miR)-182-5p and Kruppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) was determined via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot assay. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry. Cell metastasis, including migration and invasion, was assessed via Transwell assay. Biomarker protein was analyzed by western blot. The relationship among circ_USP36, miR-182-5p and KLF5 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. Circ_USP36 and KLF5 were up-regulated, while miR-182-5p was down-regulated in atherosclerosis patients and ox-LDL-induced HUVSMCs. Circ_USP36 knockdown inhibited proliferation and metastasis of ox-LDL-induced HUVSMCs by up-regulating miR-182-5p. MiR-182-5p targeted KLF5, and ameliorated ox-LDL-mediated injury of HUVSMCs. Circ_USP36 knockdown down-regulated KLF5 expression by sponging miR-182-5p. Knockdown of circ_USP36 alleviated ox-LDL-mediated injury of HUVSMCs by modulating miR-182-5p/KLF5 axis, potentially providing a treatment target for atherosclerosis.
