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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a type of cancer characterized by high recurrence rates. Overcoming chemoresistance can reduce HCC recurrence and improve patients' prognosis. This work aimed to identify HCC chemoresistance-associated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and find an effective drug targeting the identified lncRNA for ameliorating the chemoresistance. In this investigation, bioinformatics analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed a new chemoresistance index and suggested LINC02331 as an HCC chemoresistance and patients' prognosis-associated lncRNA that served as an independent prognostic indicator. Moreover, LINC02331 promoted DNA damage repair, DNA replication, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition as well as attenuated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling, thus stimulating HCC resistance to cisplatin cytotoxicity, proliferation, and metastasis. Interestingly, we developed a novel oxidative coupling approach to synthesize a dimeric oxyberberine CT4-1, which exerted superior anti-HCC activities without obvious side effects measured by in vivo mice model and could downregulate LINC02331 mice model and could downregulate LINC02331 to mitigate LINC02331-induced HCC progression by suppressing Wnt/β-catenin signaling. RNA sequencing analyses verified the involvement of CT4-1-affected differential expression genes in dysregulated pathways and processes, including Wnt, DNA damage repair, cell cycle, DNA replication, apoptosis, and cell adhesion molecules. Furthermore, CT4-1 was demonstrated to be an effective cytotoxic drug in ameliorating HCC patients' prognosis with a prediction model constructed based on RNA-sequencing data from CT4-1-treated cancer cells and public cancer database. In summary, HCC chemoresistance-associated LINC02331 independently predicted poor patients' prognosis and enhanced HCC progression by promoting resistance to cisplatin cytotoxicity, proliferation, and metastasis. Targeting LINC02331 by the dimeric oxyberberine CT4-1 that exhibited synergistic cytotoxicity with cisplatin could alleviate HCC progression and improve patients' prognosis. Our study identified LINC02331 as an alternative target and suggested CT4-1 as an effective cytotoxic drug in HCC treatment.
