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
LCN2 (Lipocalins) was first identified as iron transporter through associating with its siderophores and also involved in many cancer metastases, but its function is still paradoxical. We questioned that whether LCN2 might also associate exogenous iron chelator as does in inherent way and the association may influence their respective function. To address this issue, we investigated the effect of LCN2 on action of DpdtC (2,2'-dipyridine ketone hydrazone dithiocarbamte), an iron chelator in proliferation and metastasis-related gene expression. The results showed that exogenous LCN2 and DpdtC could inhibit growth of HepG2 cells, while the combination treatment enhanced their inhibitory effect both in proliferation and colony formation. This encouraged us to investigate the effect of the interaction on metastasis-related gene expression. The results revealed that both LCN2 and DpdtC impaired the wound healing of HepG2, but the inhibitory effect of DpdtC was significantly enhanced upon association with LCN2. Undergoing epithelium-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial step for cancer metastasis, LCN2 and DpdtC had opposite effects on EMT markers, the binding of DpdtC to LCN2 significantly weakened the regulation of it (or its iron chelate) on EMT markers. To insight into the interaction between LCN2 and DpdtC-iron, fluorescence titration and molecular docking were performed to obtain the association constant (~ 10
