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
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) originates from a pacemaker cell, the Cajal cell. However, little is known about the cancer neuroscience in GIST. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the clinical and biological roles of adrenoceptor beta 2 (ADRB2) in GIST. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the expression of ADRB2 in GIST tissues. The biological effects of ADRB2 on GIST cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were explored using Cell Counting Kit -8, plate colony formation assay, transwell invasion assay, and flow cytometry. We also explored the growth and metastasis of xenograft tumors in nude mice. Western blotting was used to quantify protein expression and phosphorylation. Results: ADRB2 is generally highly expressed in GIST. High ADRB2 expression was significantly associated with risk level, tumor size, mitotic count, and metastasis. Overexpression of ADRB2 promoted GIST cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis, while silencing ADRB2 expression showed the opposite effects. Furthermore, we found that silencing endogenous ADRB2 inhibited GIST progression and metastasis in nude mice. ADRB2-induced ETV1 upregulation enhanced the activation of c-KIT. Conclusion: ADRB2 plays an important role in the proliferation and metastasis of GIST and is expected to be a potential target for the treatment of GIST.
