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

Growth factor‑independent 1 (GFI1) has been reported to serve a vital role in hematopoietic development. However, the function and molecular mechanism of GFI1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unknown. In the present study, the biological functions and the molecular mechanism of the effects of GFI1 in ESCC were analyzed. The results demonstrated that GFI1 expression levels were significantly upregulated in ESCC compared with those in normal esophageal tissues. Knockdown of GFI1 using small interfering RNA suppressed ESCC cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, GFI1 enhanced STAT3 and NF‑κB signaling by inhibiting the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) in ESCC cells. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that GFI1 promoted the proliferation and migration of ESCC cells via inhibition of SOCS1 expression. These results suggested that GFI1 may be a valuable target for ESCC therapy.
