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
backgroundEsophageal carcinoma (EC) is one of the most deadly malignant tumors in the world. Surgery, combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, is the traditional strategy for the treatment of EC. Cisplatin (CDDP) is a common chemotherapy drug widely used to treat EC due to its powerful anti-tumor effect. However, CDDP is subject to intrinsic or acquired resistance in EC cells, which badly hinders the efficacy of chemotherapy. The resistance phenomenon is mostly caused by the p53 mutant in the EC and the low efficiency of the drug delivery system.
methodsIn this study, a specially designed nanomicelle was used to promote the anti-tumor effect of chemotherapy drugs against the CDDP-resistant EC cells. The nanomicelle consisted of miR-34a, doxorubicin (DOX), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and other excipients in an appropriate ratio.
resultsThe results showed that the nanomicelle could exert significant cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis-inducing effects in the CDDP-resistant EC cells. The endogenous expression of miR-34a in the CDDP-resistant EC cells was promoted by the incubation with the nanomicelle. After incubation with the nanomicelle, the expression of protein SIRT1 was inhibited, and the expression of caspase3 was promoted significantly in the CDDP-resistant EC cells.
conclusionsOur results indicate that the specially designed nanomicelle can exert promising anti-tumor effects by introducing miR-34a to inhibit SIRT1 signaling pathway and enhance the efficiency of the drug delivery system.
