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
Alternative splicing (AS) is tightly regulated to maintain genomic stability in humans. However, tumor growth, metastasis and therapy resistance benefit from aberrant RNA splicing. Iroquois-class homeodomain protein 4 (IRX4) is a TALE homeobox transcription factor which has been implicated in prostate cancer (PCa) as a tumor suppressor through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and functional follow-up studies. In the current study, we characterized 12 IRX4 transcripts in PCa cell lines, including seven novel transcripts by RT-PCR and sequencing. They demonstrate unique expression profiles between androgen-responsive and nonresponsive cell lines. These transcripts were significantly overexpressed in PCa cell lines and the cancer genome atlas program (TCGA) PCa clinical specimens, suggesting their probable involvement in PCa progression. Moreover, a PCa risk-associated SNP rs12653946 genotype GG was corelated with lower IRX4 transcript levels. Using mass spectrometry analysis, we identified two IRX4 protein isoforms (54.4 kDa, 57 kDa) comprising all the functional domains and two novel isoforms (40 kDa, 8.7 kDa) lacking functional domains. These IRX4 isoforms might induce distinct functional programming that could contribute to PCa hallmarks, thus providing novel insights into diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic significance in PCa management.
