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
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are neoplasms derived from neuroendocrine cells. One of their main features is to often remain asymptomatic and clinically undetectable. High Mobility Group A (HMGA) proteins belong to a family of non-histone chromatinic proteins able to modulate gene expression through the interaction with DNA and transcription factors. They are overexpressed in most of the human malignancies, playing a critical role in carcinogenesis. However, their expression levels and their role in neuroendocrine carcinogenesis has not been exhaustively evaluated until now. Therefore, in this study, we have addressed the validity of using the expression of HMGA1 as a diagnostic marker and have investigated its role in NET carcinogenesis. The expression of HMGA1 has been evaluated by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, using NET tissue microarrays, in a cohort of gastroenteropancreatic (GEP)-NET samples. The expression levels of HMGA1 have been then correlated with the main clinical features of NET samples. Finally, the contribution of HMGA1 overexpression to NET development has been addressed as far as the modulation of proliferation and migration abilities of NET cells is concerned. Here, we report that HMGA1 is overexpressed in GEP-NET samples, at both mRNA and protein levels, and that the silencing of HMGA1 protein expression interferes with the ability of NET cells to proliferate and migrate through the downregulation of Cyclin E, Cyclin B1 and EZH2. These results propose the HMGA proteins as new diagnostic and prognostic markers.
