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
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a prevalent subtype of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Dysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly identified as pivotal modulators in cancer progression. NCK1 divergent transcript (NCK1-AS1) is a lncRNA that has been proven to be oncogenic in different types of human cancers. However, whether it exerts similar functions in LUSC remains to be elusive. The present study focused on investigating the influence of NCK1-AS1 on the cellular process in LUSC and exploring its underlying mechanism. Through online bioinformatics analysis, we obtained a high NCK1-AS1 level in LUSC tissues. Meanwhile, we confirmed that NCK1-AS1 was upregulated in LUSC cells. Gain- or loss-of-function assays suggested that NCK1-AS1 prompted cell proliferation and migration, whilst impeded cell apoptosis in LUSC. Mechanistically, we revealed that NCK1-AS1 induced the upregulation of its nearby gene NCK adaptor protein 1 (NCK1) at the transcriptional level by interacting with the transcription factor MYC proto-oncogene (MYC). Rescue assays indicated that NCK1 participated in the regulation of NCK1-AS1 on LUSC progression. In conclusion, we firstly demonstrated the oncogenic role of NCK1-AS1 in LUSC and illustrated its downstream molecular mechanism.
