Elevated levels of both microRNA 378 (miR-378) and kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (KLK4) mRNA are associated with an unfavorable prognosis in triple-negative breast cancer.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients have the worst outcome among all breast cancer subtypes. In oral squamous carcinoma cells, miR-378 was reported to target the mRNA of kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (KLK4), resulting in inhibition of cell proliferation, migration and invasion, induction of apoptosis, and reduction of tumor growth
