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
The oncogenic role of circular RNA ENTPD7 (circENTPD7) in cancer biology has been reported in glioblastoma, while its role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unknown. This study was performed to investigate the involvement of circENTPD7 in NSCLC. NSCLC tissues and paired non-tumor tissues were collected from 64 NSCLC patients and the expression of circENTPD7 and PTEN were determined by RT-qPCR. Expression levels of PTEN protein in these tissue samples were measured by ELISA. The 64 NSCLC patients were subjected to a follow-up study to explore the role of circENTPD7 in predicting the survival of NSCLC. Overexpression of circENTPD7 was achieved in NSCLC cells, and the effects of overexpression of circENTPD7 on the expression of PTEN were measured by RT-qPCR and Western blot at mRNA and protein level, respectively. Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay. CircENTPD7 was upregulated in NSCLC and high expression levels of circENTPD7 predicts the poor survival rate of NSCLC cells. In NSCLC tissues, circENTPD7 was inversely correlated with PTEN protein but not mRNA. In NSCLC tissues, overexpression of circENTPD7 resulted in downregulation of PTEN, but did not alter the expression of PTEN mRNA. Cell proliferation analysis showed that overexpression of circENTPD7 promoted the proliferation of NSCLC cells and reduced the inhibitory effects of overexpression of PTEN on cell proliferation. CircENTPD7 may suppress the accumulation of PTEN to promote cell proliferation in NSCLC.
