Article in Cell death & disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 17 papers.
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
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in tumor progression. We discovered an aberrantly expressed circRNA (hsa_circ_0021727) in patients with ESCC. However, the mechanism of action of hsa_circ_0021727 in tumors is unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the biological role of hsa_circ_0021727 and its mechanism in ESCC progression. We screened for the expression of hsa_circ_0021727 in ESCC patients. Patients with ESCC with high expression of hsa_circ_0021727 had shorter survival than those with low expression. Hsa_circ_0021727 promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of ESCC cells. However, miR-23b-5p inhibited this ability of hsa_circ_0021727. MiR-23b-5p acts by targeting TAK1-binding protein 1 (TAB1). Upregulation of TAB1 can activate the nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) pathway. Hsa_circ_0021727 promoted ESCC progression by activating TAB1/NFκB pathway by sponging miR-23b-5p. In addition, in vivo experiments also confirmed that hsa_circ_0021727 could promote the proliferation, invasion, and migration of ESCC cells. In short, hsa_circ_0021727 promotes ESCC progression by targeting miR-23b-5p to activate the TAB1/NFκB pathway. These findings might provide potential targets to treat ESCC.
