1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundStudies have examined the role of integrin α3 (ITGA3) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, the functional and molecular mechanism by which ITGA3 is involved in the progression of PTC remains poorly understood.

methodsTo investigate the role of ITGA3 in PTC, raw PTC transcriptome data underwent comprehensive bioinformatics analyses, including differential expression, co-expression network, and enrichment analyses. ITGA3 expression was validated

resultsITGA3 was upregulated in PTC and associated strongly with CLNM (79.5%

conclusionsITGA3 promotes PTC cell proliferation and migration by cooperating with MET to activate MET-ERK and MET-PI3K-AKT signalling. ITGA3-MET cooperation may serve as a potential therapeutic target.
