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
Lung cancer continues to have the highest mortality rate in the world, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) representing the most common tumor form. The therapeutic interference of the tumor intercellular adhesion disruption mechanisms can provide therapeutic targets to improve the patients' prognosis. The study included 52 cases diagnosed with NSCLC, for which the immunohistochemical expressions of E-cadherin, β-catenin and Ezrin were analyzed in relation to the epidemiological and histological prognostic parameters. The histopathological analysis indicated the predominance of high-grade acinar adenocarcinoma (ADK) and non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with frequent vascular invasion and in stages II-IV. Final staining scores (FSS) of E-cadherin were superior in the case of acinar, lepidic and papillary ADK, with a high degree of differentiation, without vascular invasion and in initial tumor stages. The same aspect was also observed in the case of β-catenin reactions, which were present only at the membrane level, increased FSS being also present in the case of mucinous carcinomas. The membrane/cytoplasmic immunoexpression of Ezrin was superior in the case of cribriform, solid, micropapillary, lepidic and non-keratinized squamous carcinomas, with vascular invasion and in advanced tumor stages. Membrane reactions of Ezrin prevailed only in the case of acinar, lepidic and papillary ADK. The negative linear correlation of E-cadherin and β-catenin with Ezrin and the relationships of the markers with the histological parameters of NSCLC indicate their utility potential for the identification of aggressive malignant lung tumors.
