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

SET and MYND domain‑containing protein 2 (SMYD2), an identified protein‑lysine methyltransferase, is key for bladder cancer (BC) progression. The tumor‑formation capacity and metastatic potential of bladder cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are due to their stemness characteristics. The present study explores the mechanism of SMYD2 in promoting BCSC stemness maintenance by pyrroline‑5‑carboxylate reductase 1 (PYCR1). BC cells were treated with PYCR1, SMYD2 and putative kinase 1 (PINK1) small interfering (si)RNA, pcDNA3.1‑PYCR1 and pcDNA3.1‑SMYD2. Mito‑Tracker Green and light chain‑3B (LC3B) expression,
