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 purpose of this study was to identify the role of FEZF1-AS1 in colon cancer and predicted the underlying mechanism. We extracted sequencing data of colon cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, identified the differential expression of long noncoding RNA, microRNA, and messenger RNA, constructed a competitive endogenous RNA network, and then analyzed prognosis. Then, we used the enrichment analysis databases for functional analysis. Finally, we studied the FEZF1-AS1/miR-92b-3p/ZIC5 axis. We detected the expression of FEZF1-AS1, miR-92b-3p, and ZIC5 via quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, transfected colon cancer cell RKO with lentivirus and conducted FEZF1-AS1 knockdown, and performed cancer-related functional assays. It indicated that many RNA in the competitive endogenous RNA network, such as ZIC5, were predicted to be related to overall survival of colon cancer patients, and enrichment analysis showed cancer-related signaling pathways, such as PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The expression of FEZF1-AS1 and ZIC5 was significantly higher and that of miR-92b-3p was lower in the colon cancer than in the normal colon tissues. FEZF1-AS1 promoted the migration, proliferation, as well as invasion of RKO. According to the prediction, FEZF1-AS1 and ZIC5 might competitively bind to miR-92b-3p, leading to the weakening of the inhibitory impact of miR-92b-3p on ZIC5 and increasing expression of ZIC5, thus further activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which led to the occurrence and development of colon cancer. The study suggested that FEZF1-AS1 might be an effective diagnosis biomarker for colon cancer.
