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
1,4,5,6,7,8-Hexahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine (PPM) promotes apoptosis of HepG2 cells and serves a role in tumor suppression. However, the role of microRNA (miRNA) regulation in initiating apoptosis remains unclear. Therefore, the present study performed reverse transcription-quantitative PCR to investigate the association between PPM and miRNA, which demonstrated that PPM upregulated the expression of miR-26b-5p. Wound healing and Transwell assays showed that PPM inhibited the migration and invasion of HepG2 cells, and EdU staining experiments showed that PPM inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells. Transfection with miR-26b-5p inhibitor reversed the effects of PPM on HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry results showed that PPM promoted apoptosis of HepG2 cells by upregulating miRNA (miR)-26b-5p, and Western blotting results showed that PPM promoted the expression of apoptosis-associated protein Bax and inhibited the expression of Bcl-2 by upregulating miR-26b-5p. Using a proteomic approach combined with bioinformatics analysis, CDK8 was identified as a potential target of miR-26b-5p and was downregulated by miR-26b-5p overexpression. However, PPM induced HepG2 cell cycle arrest without the involvement of miR-26b-5p. Western blotting results showed that PPM upregulation of miR-26b-5p suppresses NF-κB/p65 signaling pathway in HepG2 cells by targeting of CDK8. The present results suggested that miR-26b-5p may function as a target gene of PPM and may serve a role in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.
