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
Limited data exist on the immunoregulatory mechanisms involv ed in thyroid cancer, particularly in aggressive forms. This study aimed at identifying the expression profiles of immune-related genes and miRNAs in anaplastic (ATC) and poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas (PDTC) associated with papillary carcinoma (PTC) components. Immune-related genes were investigated using the nCounter® PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel in separate ATC and PTC components of 12 cases, and in PDTC component only of nine additional cases associated with PTC. Global miRNAs profiling was also analyzed separately in ATC and PTC components of 8 out of the 12 cases. Comparative analysis between ATC and matched PTC components revealed largely stable gene expression patterns, with only a few genes deregulated. Of these, five genes (MAP3K1, PRKCD, CYFIP2, BLNK, and EPCAM) were downregulated, while six (RIPK2, ITGB1, CCL3L1, ITGA5, PLAUR, and TICAM2) were upregulated in ATC. Furthermore, 54 miRNAs were significantly upregulated in ATC, as compared to PTC components. One of the most regulated pathways was the MAPK signaling, with six of these deregulated miRNAs targeting the MAP3K1 gene. Comparing ATC and PDTC, over 200 genes were differentially expressed between PDTC and ATC samples, involving all major immune-related pathways, with a consistent downregulation in PDTC. In conclusion, ATC displays high levels of expression of immunoregulatory genes as compared to PDTC. Moreover, a subset of genes and miRNAs is significantly de-regulated along progression from PTC to ATC, suggesting their potential role as biomarkers and involvement in key functional mechanisms.
