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
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a key member of the HSP family that contributes to a pre-cancerous environment; however, its role in lung cancer remains poorly understood. The present study used geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) to induce HSP70 expression, and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) was used to construct an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) model by stimulating A549 cells in vitro. Western Blot was performed to detect protein levels of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and the EMT-associated proteins E-cadherin and vimentin both before and after HSP70 expression. Cell morphological changes were observed, and the effect of HSP70 on cell migration ability was detected via the wound healing. The results demonstrated that GGA at 50 and 200 μmol/L could significantly induce HSP70 expression in A549 cells (P < 0.05). Furthermore, HSP70 induced by 200 μmol/L GGA significantly inhibited the changes of E-cadherin, vimentin, and cell morphology induced by TGF-β (P < 0.05), while HSP70 induced by 50 μmol/L GGA did not. The results of the wound healing assay indicated that 200 μmol/L GGA significantly inhibited A549 cell migration induced by TGF-β. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that overexpression of HSP70 inhibited the TGF-β induced EMT process and changed the cell morphology and migratory ability induced by TGF-β in A549 cells.
