microRNA-497 slows esophageal cancer development and reverses chemotherapy resistance through its target QKI.
Article in Aging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Esophageal cancer (EC) is considered one of the most lethal cancers in human beings, and multiple miRNAs have been investigated to be involved in EC development by targeting their target genes. However, the function and related mechanism of miRNA-497 on EC tumorigenesis remain uncertain. This study first demonstrated that the expression levels of miR-497 in esophageal cancer specimens and cells were down-regulated. Forced expression of miR-497 inhibited cell proliferation, tube formation and migration in EC cells. To further investigate the potential molecular mechanism of miR-497 suppression in regulating EC, we found that miR-497 directly binds to the 3'-untranslational region of QKI, miR-497 overexpression suppressed QKI expression. We further found that overexpression of miR-497 enhanced the effect of chemotherapy in EC cell lines, and prevented the tumor growth of EC
