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

Methyltransferase‑like 3 (METTL3) is an RNA methyltransferase that mediates modification of N6‑methyladenosine (m6A), which serves as an oncogene in various types of cancer. The role of m6A modification in the onset and progression of cancer has attracted growing attention. However, the functional and regulatory mechanisms of METTL3 in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression are still poorly understood. In the present study, METTL3 expression in NSCLC tissue was analyzed using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis database. Western blotting and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR were performed to evaluate the expression of METTL3 in NSCLC tissue and cell lines. Here, knockdown and overexpression of METTL3 notably decreased NSCLC cell viability, apoptosis and migration
