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
This study evaluated microRNA-148a-3p in esophageal carcinoma cells. The prediction of bioinformatics analysis revealed that microRNA-148a-3p may target CEP55. qRT-PCR and western blot showed that CEP55 level in esophageal carcinoma cells and tissue was dramatically higher than that of normal cells and tissue, while microRNA-148a-3p was the opposite. Forced expression of microRNA-148a-3p restrained cell malignant behaviors of esophageal carcinoma, and repression of microRNA-148a-3p resulted in the converse results in terms of cell function. Dual-luciferase assay confirmed that microRNA-148a-3p targeted CEP55. CEP55 attenuated the suppressive effect of microRNA-148a-3p on proliferation and migration of esophageal carcinoma cells, demonstrating that microRNA-148a-3p regulated function of esophageal carcinoma cells via decreasing CEP55 level. Microscopy observation indicated that cell morphology was also affected by the microRNA-148a-3p/CEP55 axis. Furthermore, western blot analysis revealed that the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway could be suppressed by activating the microRNA-148a-3p/CEP55 axis. Finally, in vivo experiments confirmed the effects of microRNA-148a-3p on tumorigenesis. Thus, microRNA-148a-3p could act as a repressor in esophageal carcinoma via binding to CEP55.
