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
backgroundPapillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer. Xenotropic and polytropic retrovirus receptor 1 (XPR1), identified as a cellular receptor, plays roles in many pathophysiological processes. However, the underlying function and molecular mechanisms of XPR1 in PTC remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the role of XPR1 in the process of PTC and the potential mechanisms.
methodsRNA-sequencing was performed for gene differential expression analysis in PTC patients' tissues. Immunohistochemical assay, real-time PCR, and western blotting assay were used to determine the expression of XPR1, BRAF, and P53 in PTC tissues. The function of XPR1 on the progression of PTC was explored using in vitro and in vivo experiments. The molecular mechanism of XPR1 was investigated using gene silencing, ELISA, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and real-time PCR assays.
resultsWe found that XPR1 was markedly upregulated in PTC tissues compared to adjacent noncancerous tissues, suggesting that high expression of XPR1 could be correlated with poor patient disease-free survival in PTC. In addition, the expression of BRAF and P53 in PTC tissues was substantially higher than in adjacent noncancerous tissues. Silencing of XPR1 reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion capacities of TPC-1 cells in vitro and effectively inhibited the tumorigenecity of PTC in vivo. More importantly, silencing of XPR1 in TPC-1 cells significantly decreased the expression of XPR1, BRAF, and P53 both in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, we demonstrated that XPR1 may positively activate the BRAF-ERK-P53 signaling pathway, further promoting PTC progression.
conclusionThe findings reveal a crucial role of XPR1 in PTC progression and prognosis via the BRAF-ERK1/2-P53 signaling pathway, providing potential therapeutic targets for treating PTC.
