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

Human ecdysoneless (ECD), the human ortholog of Ecd protein of Drosophila melanogaster, is a highly conserved protein. This protein comprises a well-folded N-terminal domain and a disordered C-terminal domain; these domains interact with multiple proteins and are involved in diverse biological processes, including cell cycle regulation, transactivation, pre-mRNA splicing, and glucose metabolism. ECD is highly expressed in various cancers, and its elevated expression is associated with poor prognosis in several types of human cancers. Therefore, it can serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for treating tumors. This review focuses on the currently available knowledge of the physiological and pathological functions of ECD; moreover, the directions of prospective research in the relevant field have been discussed.
