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
The expression of B-cell receptor associated protein 31 (BAP31) is increased in many tumor types, and it is reported to participate in proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. However, the relationship between BAP31 and chemoresistance is uncertain. This study investigated the role of BAP31 in regulating the doxorubicin (Dox) resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expression of proteins was assessed by Western blotting. The correlation between BAP31 expression and Dox resistance was examined by MTT and colony formation assays. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assays. Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses were performed in the knockdown cell lines to explore the possible mechanisms. In this study, BAP31 was strongly expressed, and knockdown of BAP31 increased Dox chemosensitivity in cancer cells. Furthermore, the expression of BAP31 was higher in the Dox-resistant HCC cells than that in their parental cells; knockdown of BAP31 reduced the half maximal inhibitory concentration value and overcame Dox resistance in Dox-resistant HCC cells. In HCC cells, knockdown of BAP31 increased Dox-induced apoptosis and enhanced Dox chemosensitivity in vitro and in vivo. The potential mechanism by which BAP31 increased Dox-induced apoptosis is that BAP31 inhibited survivin expression by promoting FoxO1 nucleus-cytoplasm translocation. Knockdown of BAP31 and survivin had a synergistic effect on Dox chemosensitivity by enhancing the apoptosis of HCC cells. These findings reveal that BAP31 knockdown enhances Dox chemosensitivity through the downregulation of survivin, suggesting that BAP31 is a potential therapeutic target for improving the treatment response of HCC with resistance to Dox.
