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
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the highest mortality rate among common cancers in women. Thus, the identification of new therapeutic targets is of major significance. Our study identifies ZNF662 as a novel member of KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) family in TNBC. However, its biological function and potential mechanisms in the progression of TNBC have not been clarified. We found that down-regulation of ZNF662 in breast cancer was associated with abnormal promoter methylation. ZNF662 over-expression inhibited triple-negative breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion and induced cell cycle arrest in vitro, and also suppressed the growth and metastasis of xenograft tumors in vivo. Further experiments confirmed that ZNF662 could directly bind to the NGF promoter sites and significantly inhibit NGF transcription activity. In addition, ZNF662 could increase the sensitivity of TNBC cells to the EGFR inhibitor lapatinib. Molecular mechanisms revealed that ZNF662 affected downstream PI3K/AKT and STAT3 signaling pathways to inhibit TNBC progression by down-regulating NGF expression. Altogether, we speculated that ZNF662 might become a promising prognostic marker and therapeutic target for early detection and treatment of TNBC.
