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
The present study aimed to define the tumor-suppressive role of microRNA-499 (miR-499) in lung cancer cells and its underlying mechanism. First, qRT-PCR analysis revealed poor expression of miR-499 in clinical samples and cell lines of lung cancer. Next, we performed loss- and gain-of-function experiments for the expression of miR-499 in lung cancer cells exposed to irradiation (IR) to determine the effect of miR-499 expression on cell viability and apoptosis as well as tumor growth. Results showed that overexpression of miR-499 inhibited cell viability, enhanced the radiosensitivity of lung cancer cells, and promoted cell apoptosis under IR. Furthermore, CK2α was verified to be a target of miR-499, and miR-499 was identified to repress p65 phosphorylation by downregulating CK2α expression, which ultimately diminished the survival rate of lung cancer cells under IR. Collectively, the key findings of the study illustrate the tumor-inhibiting function of miR-499 and confirmed that miR-499-mediated CK2α inhibition and altered p65 phosphorylation enhances the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to IR.
