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
To explore underlying mechanisms related to the progression of colon cancer and identify hub genes associated with the prognosis of patients with colon cancer. GSE10950 and GSE62932 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. GEO2R was utilized to screen out the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were conducted on DEGs. Moreover, STRING and Cytoscape software were utilized for establishing the network of protein-protein interaction (PPI) and identifying hub genes. Afterward, data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was utilized for identifying prognosis-related hub genes by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Colon cancer cell line LOVO and human normal intestinal epithelial cell line NCM-460 were exploited to demonstrate the differential expression of selected hub genes through RT-qPCR and western blot. The LOVO cells were transfected to regulate expressions of prognosis-associated genes, followed by exploring the effects of those genes on prognosis by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and colony-forming assay for cancer cell proliferation, cell scratch test and transwell migration assay for cancer cell migration and Annexin V-PE/7-AAD double staining as well as flow cytometry for cancer cell apoptosis. In this study, 266 common DEGs were obtained from the intersection of two datasets. The GO analysis suggested the common DEGs mainly participated in the one-carbon metabolic process, cell cycle G2/M phase transition, organelle fission, cell cycle phase transition regulation, and regulation of mitotic cell cycle phase transition. The KEGG analysis demonstrated the common DEGs were related to the p53 signaling pathway, nitrogen metabolism, mineral absorption, and cell cycle. 10 hub genes including CCNB1, KIF4A, TPX2, MT1F, PRC1, PLK4, CALD1, MMP9, CLCA1, and MMP1 were identified and CCNB1, CLCA1, and PLK4 were prognosis-related. Increased expression of CCNB1, CLCA1, and PLK4 restrained proliferation as well as migration of cancer cells and induced apoptosis of cancer cells. CCNB1, KIF4A, TPX2, MT1F, PRC1, PLK4, CALD1, MMP9, CLCA1, and MMP1 were identified as hub genes and CCNB1, CLCA1, and PLK4 could inhibit the progression of colon cancer through inhibiting proliferation as well as migration of the cancer cell and promoting apoptosis of cancer cell.
