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
backgroundBridging integrator 3 (BIN3) has been reported to play a key role in certain tumors. Nevertheless, little is known about the role and clinical value of BIN3 in esophagus carcinoma (ESCA). This study aimed to investigate the pathological and prognostic role of BIN3 in ESCA patients.
methodsGenes significantly correlated with the prognosis of ESCA patients were screened and identified by comprehensive analysis of differentially expressed genes associated with overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS) and progression-free interval (PFI) in ESCA. The expression of BIN3, pathological features correlation and subgroup overall survival analysis were performed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GTEx databases. Moreover, the potential signaling pathways in which BIN3 was involved were analyzed by GO-KEGG enrichment analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Immune infiltrates correlation of BIN3 in ESCA was performed by TIMER and ssGSEA. The influence of BIN3 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was validated by western blot.
resultsThere were two differentially expressed genes related to the prognosis of ESCA patients, which were identified from three gene clusters associated with overall survival (OS), diseasespecific survival (DSS) and progression-free interval (PFI) in ESCA patients. The BIN3 mRNA level was found to be significantly decreased in ESCA compared to normal tissues (p < 0.05). The decreased expression of BIN3 in ESCA was significantly correlated with the clinical stage (p = 0.015), T stage (p < 0.05), histological type (p < 0.001), age (p < 0.05) and gender (p < 0.05). ESCA patients with high BIN3 expression were observed to be correlated with T stage (T3 & T4), age (＜＝60), gender (male), primary therapy outcome (PD) and columnar metaplasia (No) of favorable OS. GO-KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that BIN3 was involved in endocytosis. GSEA showed that several pathways were enriched in BIN3, such as O linked glycosylation of mucins, PID HNF3B pathway, biocarta TFF pathway, WP pregnane X receptor pathway, reactome regulation of beta cell development, WP Urea cycle and associated pathways and others. BIN3 was significantly related to the infiltration level of T cells (p < 0.001), Tregs (p < 0.001), B cells (p < 0.001), NK cells (p < 0.001), and macrophage M2 (p < 0.001). In addition, BIN3 overexpression inhibited N-cadherin expression and promoted E-cadherin expression in ESCA cell lines TE-1.
conclusionThese results suggest that BIN3 might be a potential prognostic biomarker in ESCA. BIN3 functions as a tumor-suppressor role in ESCA, which is significantly associated with the immune infiltration of ESCA.
