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

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis, underscoring the urgent need for novel molecular targets. Here, we identify phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) as a key oncogenic driver in ESCC. This study systematically investigated the oncogenic functions of PSPH in ESCC progression and the associated molecular mechanisms. Functional studies revealed that PSPH overexpression markedly enhanced ESCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion
