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
backgroundNucleosome assembly protein 1-like 1 (NAP1L1) is highly expressed in various types of cancer and plays an important role in carcinogenesis, but its specific role in tumor development and progression remains largely unknown. In this study, we suggest the potential of NAP1L1 as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC).
methodsIn our study, a tissue microarray (TMA) slide containing specimens from 149 patients with OC and 11 normal ovarian tissues underwent immunohistochemistry (IHC) to analyze the correlation between NAP1L1 expression and clinicopathological features. Loss-of- function experiments were performed by transfecting siRNA and following lentiviral gene transduction into SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells. Cell proliferation and the cell cycle were assessed by the Cell Counting Kit-8, EDU assay, flow cytometry, colony formation assay, and Western blot analysis. In addition, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and immunofluorescence assays were performed to confirm the relationship between NAP1L1 and its potential targets in SKOV3/OVCAR3 cells.
resultsHigh expression of NAP1L1 was closely related to poor clinical outcomes in OC patients. After knocking down NAP1L1 by siRNA or shRNA, both SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells showed inhibition of cell proliferation, blocking of the G1/S phase, and increased apoptosis in vitro. Mechanism analysis indicated that NAP1L1 interacted with hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) and they were co-localized in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, HDGF can interact with jun proto-oncogene (C-JUN), an oncogenic transformation factor that induces the expression of cyclin D1 (CCND1). Overexpressed HDGF in NAP1L1 knockdown OC cells not only increased the expression of C-JUN and CCND1, but it also reversed the suppressive effects of si-NAP1L1 on cell proliferation.
conclusionsOur data demonstrated that NAP1L1 could act as a prognostic biomarker in OC and can interact with HDGF to mediate the proliferation of OC, and this process of triggered proliferation may contribute to the activation of HDGF/C-JUN signaling in OC cells.
