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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of yes-associated protein (YAP) in CRC tissues, and to determine the relationship between the expression levels of YAP and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with CRC. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to examine the expression of YAP and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics and key genes, using functional enrichment analysis. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect YAP expression in 181 CRC tissue samples and 30 normal colorectal mucosa samples. Western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR were performed to detect the expression of YAP and β-catenin in CRC cells, and cellular proliferation was assessed using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Finally, apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that the positive expression rate of YAP in CRC tissues was 73.5%, which was significantly higher than that in normal colorectal mucosa samples. The expression of YAP in CRC was associated with histological differentiation, lymph node metastasis and Duke's stage. However, no significant associations were observed between YAP expression and age, sex and T stage. Downregulation of YAP promoted the proliferation and the inhibited apoptosis of CRC cells, and YAP expression was positively correlated with that of β-catenin in both CRC tissues and cells. Furthermore, YAP expression was upregulated in CRC tissues, which was correlated with tumor progression and prognosis. Therefore, YAP expression may be used as an independent predictor of poor prognosis in patients with CRC, and the underling molecular mechanism may be associated with the combined effect of Hippo and Wnt/β-catenin signaling.
