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
The progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is partly driven by reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced tissue damage and inflammation. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidases (NOXs) are key regulators of ROS production, yet the specific role of NOX1 in HCC progression and therapeutic response remain incompletely understood. In this study we investigated the critical role of NOX1 in progression, metastasis and therapeutic sensitivity of HCC, and explored its potential as a therapeutic target. By comprehensive analysis of public databases and validation with in-house clinical specimens, we showed that NOX1 expression was significantly elevated in metastatic HCC that was correlated to poor patient prognosis. Knockdown of NOX1 or pharmacological inhibition with a selective NOX1 inhibitor ML171 significantly reduced ROS production and suppressed HCC cell motility and invasion in vitro. NOX1 inhibition also attenuated HCC metastasis in experimental metastasis mouse model using direct injection of HCC cells, and mitigated CCl
