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
Background/purpose: Dysregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases is implicated in cancer development. This study aimed to investigate the nuclear translocation of Axl, a membrane protein and receptor tyrosine kinase in cancer malignancy. Materials and methods: We examined Axl's entry into the cell nucleus and validated it with the nuclear export inhibitor leptomycin. Transfection experiments with mutated nuclear localization signals were conducted to assess the impact of reduced nuclear Axl levels on cancer cell malignancy. Additionally, we evaluated the effects of decreased nuclear Axl on sensitivity to radiation and cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug. Results: In the present study, we observed nuclear translocation of Axl in cancer cells. Reducing nuclear Axl levels led to a decrease in cancer cell malignancy. This nuclear translocation was further validated using a nuclear export inhibitor, leptomycin. Additionally, transfection experiments with mutated nuclear localization signals confirmed the functional significance of Axl's nuclear localization. Notably, decreased nuclear Axl levels also increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiation and cisplatin treatment. Conclusion: This study suggests that Axl's nuclear translocation plays a significant role in cancer malignancy. Targeting Axl's nuclear localization could offer a potential strategy to inhibit cancer progression and improve the efficacy of radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
