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
Metastasis is the major cause of death in gastric cancer patients and altered expression of Nrf2 is associated with cancer development. This study assessed Nrf2 and HO-1 expression and hypoxia-induced Nrf2 expression in the promotion of metastatic potential of gastric cancer cells, the relationship of Rap1b and Nrf2 was also discussed. Nrf2 and HO-1 expression were significantly associated with clinicopathological characteristic and were independent prognostic predictors in gastric cancer patients. Hypoxia up-regulated the expression of Nrf2, HO-1 and HIF-1α, whereas knockdown of Nrf2 inhibited cell invasion capacity and reduced the expression of Nrf2, HO-1 and HIF-1α. Patients in the Rap1b (+) Nrf2 (+) group had worst overall survival compared with those from other groups. Knockdown of Rap1b and Nrf2 significantly inhibited cell invasion capacity in the common group compared with the other groups. Hypoxia or VEGF-A facilitated the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 through Rap1b or VEGFR2. Hypoxia or VEGF-A did not induce the phosphorylation of P-Erk1/2 and P-Akt after knockdown of Rap1b or VEGFR2. Hypoxia promoted the gastric cancer malignant behavior through the upregulation of Rap1b and Nrf2. Hypoxia/VEGF-A-Rap1b/VEGFR2 facilitated the nuclear translocation of Nrf2. Targeting Rap1b and Nrf2 may be a novel therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer.
