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
Objective: GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) and forkhead box A1 (FOXA1) have been individually implicated in the progression of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of GATA3/FOXA1 co-expression in UTUC patients. Methods: We collected 108 UTUC pathological tissue samples with complete follow-up data and 24 normal control urothelial tissues. We created a 132-site microarray and performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) to measure GATA3 and FOXA1 expression levels. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses were conducted to assess UTUC prognosis. Results: GATA3 expression was positively correlated with FOXA1 (P=0.031). Absence of GATA3/FOXA1 co-expression (GATA3-/FOXA1-) was associated with tumor extensive necrosis (P=0.001) after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. GATA3-/FOXA1- was associated with shorter Disease-Free Survival (DFS) (P=0.001) and Cancer-Specific Survival (CSS) (P<0.001) than other combination groups. Multivariate analyses identified extensive necrosis as an independent prognostic factor for CSS (P=0.030). Conclusions: Our study revealed a positive correlation between GATA3 and FOXA1 expression in UTUC. GATA3-/FOXA1- is linked to tumor extensive necrosis and poor prognosis in UTUC and may serve as a potential biomarker for UTUC patients.
