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
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) functions as an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system and mediates cellular processes, such as cell cycle, proliferation, and differentiation. UBE2T has been considered to be an oncogene in a variety of tumors. However, the oncogenic role of UBE2T in cervical cancer remains unclear. In this study, our results first showed that the expression of UBE2T was higher in both of cervical cancer tissues and cells than that in the normal tissues and cells. Knockdown of UBE2T reduced cervical cancer cell viability and suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and migration. However, overexpression of UBE2T contributed to cervical cancer cell growth and metastasis. Moreover, UBE2T overexpression cervical cancer cells demonstrated enhanced self-renewal capacity with upregulation of SOX2, Oct-4, and Nanog protein. Silencing of UBE2T downregulated protein expression of SOX2, Oct-4, and Nanog in cervical cancer cells reduced self-renewal capacity. Furthermore, ectopic UBE2T expression promoted protein expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation in cervical cancer cells. The knockdown of UBE2T reduced protein expression of GRP78 and FAK phosphorylation. Collectively, UBE2T promoted cervical cancer stem cell traits and exerted an oncogenic role through activation of the GRP78/FAK pathway.
