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: Mitochondria have long been considered a potential target in cancer therapy because malignant cells are known for their altered energy production. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the involvement of mitochondria-associated proteins (MAPs) in neuroblastoma (NB), and their potential as therapeutic targets is yet to be fully explored. Methods: MAP genes were defined based on the protein-coding genes with mitochondrial localization. The mRNA expression patterns and dynamics of MAP genes associated with NB were investigated by integrating publicly available transcriptional profiles at the cellular and tissue levels. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to reveal the association of MAP genes with the overall survival (OS) and clinical subgroups of NB patients. The single-cell RNA-seq dataset and gene dependency screening datasets were analyzed to reveal the therapeutic potential of targeting MAP genes. Results: We compiled a total of 1,712 MAP genes. We found the global and cell type-specific mRNA expression changes of the MAP genes associated with NB status and survival. Our analyses revealed a group of MAP gene signatures independent of Conclusions: Collectively, our study provides evidence for the MAP genes as extended candidates in NB tumor stratification and staging, prognostic prediction, and targeted drug development.
