1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Cytoglobin (CYGB) is a ubiquitously expressed protein with a protective role against oxidative stress, fibrosis and tumor growth, shown to be transcriptionally regulated under hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia-inducible CYGB expression is observed in several cancer cell lines and particularly in various melanoma-derived cell lines. However, reliable detection of hypoxia-inducible mRNA levels by qPCR depends on the critical choice of suitable reference genes for accurate normalization. Limited evidence exists to support selection of the commonly used reference genes in hypoxic models of melanoma. This study aimed to select the optimal reference genes to study CYGB expression levels in melanoma cell lines exposed to hypoxic conditions (0.2% O
