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
The current study aimed to identify the potential biomarker for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer within plasma cell-free RNA (cfRNA) species and to characterize their oncogenic properties. cfRNAs were isolated from the peripheral blood of ovarian cancer patients and sequenced using an NGS platform. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed using Salmon software. Gene ontology (GO) analysis was conducted with clusterProfiler. The relative abundance of TMEM158 transcripts was determined by real-time PCR. Cell viability and proliferation was monitored using the MTT and cell counting assays, respectively. The protein levels of TMEM158 and ABCG2 were quantified by immunoblotting. We observed a clear separation of cfRNAs between ovarian cancer patients and healthy individuals. Additionally, we identified TMEM158 as the most significantly differential gene in both peripheral blood and tumor tissues. Overexpression of TMEM158 stimulated cell viability and promoted cell proliferation in ovarian cancer cells. Notably, the aberrant upregulation of TMEM158 was closely associated with doxorubicin resistance in ovarian cancer. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that TMEM158 positively regulates ABCG2 expression, which consequently contributes to drug resistance. In summary, we identified cfRNA TMEM158 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for ovarian cancer and elucidated the critical involvement of TMEM158-ABCG2 signaling axis in the development of doxorubicin resistance.
