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
Curcumin is a kind of polyphenol substance extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma longa. Because of its good biological activity and pharmacological effects, it has been used in anti-tumor research. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer mechanism of curcumin on laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to check the expression level of transcription factor E2F1 (E2F1) and filamin A (FLNA) mRNA. E2F1 and FLNA protein and proliferation-associated protein were detected through western blot. Cell viability was showed by MTT assay, and flow cytometry was used to exhibit cell cycle distribution and cell apoptosis. Tube formation assay was used to detect the angiogenesis ability of cells. Transwell was used as a method to observe cell migration and invasion. The online website JASPAR predicted the binding site of E2F1 and FLNA promoter, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and dual-luciferase report experiment verified the combination. Curcumin treatment made LSCC cells viability reduce, cell cycle retardant, angiogenesis decrease, metastasis inhibition and apoptosis increase. And curcumin treatment could downregulate the expression of E2F1, and E2F1 overexpression would reverse the influence of curcumin treatment in LSCC cells. Moreover, E2F1 could bind to FLAN promoter and promote FLNA expression. The expression level of FLNA was higher in LSCC tissue and cells compared with normal tissue and cells. E2F1 knockdown inhibited malignant phenotype of LSCC cells, which would be reversed by FLNA addition. In addition, FLNA had high level in LSCC tissue and cells. Curcumin regulated FLNA expression via inhibiting E2F1. Finally, in vivo assay showed that curcumin inhibition restrained LSCC tumor formation. Curcumin downregulated FLNA expression through inhibiting E2F1, thereby suppressing the malignant phenotype and angiogenesis of LSCC cells, which was a new regulatory pathway in LSCC.
