Article in Cell transplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
To investigate the function of histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2D (KMT2D) on the methylation of H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) in the progression of Ovarian cancer (OV). KMT2D, ESR1 and H3K4me expressions in surgical resected tumors and tumor adjacent tissues of OV from 198 patients were determined using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Human OV cell lines including SKOV3, HO-8910 cells and normal ovarian epithelial cell line IOSE80 were employed for in vitro experiment, and BALB/C female nude mice were used for in vivo study. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were implemented for measuring the KMT2D, ESR1, PTGS2, STAT3, VEGFR2, H3K4me and ELF3 levels. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis was used for studying the binding between ESR1 and H3K4me. Edu staining assay was executed to determine cell viability, and colony formation and cell invasion assay. The immunofluorescence method was utilized for the visualization of protein expression and distribution in cells. In this study, KMT2D, ESR1 and H3K4me were found upregulated in OV progression. Mutated H3K4me could inhibit the proliferation, colony formation and invasion ability of OV cells. Mutated H3K4me could also hinder the ESR1 in SKOV3 expressions and HO-8910 cells, which would further mediate PTGS2/STAT3/VEGF pathway. In vivo studies also demonstrated that mutated H3K4me inhibited OV progression via targeting ESR1. All the ChIP-PCR analysis indicated the moderator effect of H3K4me on ESR1. Our findings indicated that ESR1 played an important role in the OV progression. Besides, H3K4me could promote cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of OV cells. Meanwhile, it could also targets the ESR1 production to enhance the migration and invasion of OV cells, which was through the activation of ESR1-ELF3-PTGS2-STAT3-VEGF cascade signaling pathway.
