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
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common and deadly, often leading to metastasis, challenging treatment, and poor outcomes. Understanding its molecular basis is crucial for developing effective therapies. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the role of Myosin Heavy Chain 11 (MYH11) in CRC progression, especially its effects on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell behavior, and to explore its potential regulation by the EMT transcription factor zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1). Methods: Differential expression analysis was performed in the GSE123390 and TCGA-READ datasets, and 317 intersection genes were identified. The hub gene MYH11 was identified based on Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and expression validation. The effects of MYH11 and the EMT transcription factor (ZEB1) on the behavior of CRC cells were investigated Results: Bioinformatics research revealed that MYH11 was considerably downregulated in CRC samples as compared to normal samples. Overexpression of MYH11 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of CRC cells. Western blotting (WB) testing showed that MYH11 overexpression inhibited EMT by elevating E-cadherin levels while suppressing ZEB1, vimentin, and N-cadherin expressions. By contrast, overexpression of ZEB1 promoted EMT and enhanced migration, invasion, and proliferation of CRC cells. The negative impacts of MYH11 affecting EMT markers and cell behaviors were partially mitigated by co-overexpression of MYH11 and ZEB1, indicating that MYH11 regulates EMT and CRC progression through ZEB1. Conclusion: Our study shows MYH11 curbs CRC growth by blocking EMT and invasion, but ZEB1 overexpression reduces this effect. It uncovers key CRC pathways and suggests MYH11's therapeutic potential.
