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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the role of Interleukin-11 receptor alpha (IL11RA) in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) metastasis to the liver.
methodsHuman SKCM cell lines (A375, A375-MA2, SK-MEL-28, RPMI-7951) and primary dermal fibroblasts (HDFa) were utilized to assess IL11RA expression. IL11RA siRNA was transfected into RPMI-7951 and A375-MA2 cells for Wound healing and Transwell invasion assays. Il11ra knockout (KO) mice and wild-type (WT) mice were injected with B16-F10 cells into the spleen to evaluate hepatic melanoma metastasis. Correlation between IL11RA and MMP family genes was explored using online databases, including LinkedOmics, TIMER (Tumor Immune Estimation Resource), and GEPIA (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis). RT-qPCR and Western blotting were performed for expression analysis of Mmp2 and Mmp9 in liver tissues of mice. The impact of IL11RA on the STAT3 pathway was investigated in vitro and in vivo.
resultsElevated expression of IL11RA was observed in SKCM cell lines compared to normal cells. IL11RA downregulation significantly inhibited migratory and invasive capabilities of A375-MA2 and RPMI-7951 in vitro. Il11ra gene knockout in mice demonstrated a substantial reduction in hepatic melanoma metastasis. Correlation analyses revealed associations between IL11RA and MMP2/MMP8. Il11ra gene knockout significantly decreased Mmp2 expression while increasing Mmp8 in liver tissues. IL11RA correlated positively with STAT3, and its inhibition led to a suppressed STAT3 pathway in SKCM cells and mouse liver tissue.
conclusionIL11RA plays a crucial role in SKCM metastasis, affecting migratory and invasive abilities. Targeting IL11RA may offer a promising avenue for therapeutic interventions in cutaneous melanoma progression.
