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
A handful of circular RNAs (circRNAs) associated with cancer progression have been indicated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The current study aimed to investigate the functional mechanism of circular RNA Fibronectin type III domain containing 3B (circ_FNDC3B) in ESCC. Circ_FNDC3B, FNDC3B, microRNA-136-5p (miR-136-5p) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) were examined via the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell proliferation was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assays. Transwell assay was performed to measure cell migration and invasion. Protein analysis was implemented by western blot. Cell apoptosis was assessed via flow cytometry. Target interaction was affirmed using dual-luciferase reporter assay. The function analysis of circ_FNDC3B in vivo was explored by xenograft models. The upregulation of circ_FNDC3B was detected in ESCC tissues and cells. Functionally, ESCC cell proliferation and metastasis were repressed but apoptosis was promoted by circ_FNDC3B knockdown. Besides, circ_FNDC3B silence inhibited ESCC progression through MAPK1 downregulation. Further target analysis identified miR-136-5p as a target of circ_FNDC3B and an upstream control of MAPK1. Additionally, the regulation of si-circ_FNDC3B in ESCC was also dependent on targeting miR-136-5p. Moreover, circ_FNDC3B targeted miR-136-5p to affect MAPK1 level. Tumorigenesis in vivo was also suppressed by downregulating circ_FNDC3B to regulate miR-136-5p/MAPK1 axis. Circ_FNDC3B downregulation impeded the development of ESCC via the mediation of miR-136-5p/MAPK1 axis. This report afforded a novel insight into the functional mechanism of circ_FNDC3B in ESCC.
