1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is a crucial component of the m6A methyltransferase complex, which serves pivotal roles in tumor progression. The present study investigated the prognostic significance of METTL3 expression in gastric cancer (GC). The expression levels of METTL3 were assessed by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens from 158 patients with GC. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to clarify its prognostic potential. METTL3 gene expression was also investigated in fresh frozen specimens from another independent cohort of 57 patients with GC to establish its clinical relevance. Knockdown of METTL3 by small interfering RNA transfection was performed to evaluate its function
