The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeSalivary gland cancer is a rare malignant tumor, and the expression of p63 is increased in salivary gland tumors. p63 is a well-known gene playing an important role in controlling cell differentiation, cell cycle arrest, cell migration, and apoptosis that is regulated by various signaling pathways. Similarly, the p21 gene, induced either dependent on or independently of p53, plays an important role in controlling cell cycle progression and suppressing tumor growth. Therefore, in salivary gland cancer, p63 and p21 may interact directly or indirectly to influence cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and other cellular processes and p63 might be a potential therapeutic target of salivary gland cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the reciprocity between p63 and p21 via TNFα/NF-κB signaling in p63-positive salivary duct adenocarcinoma.
methodsThe p63-positive salivary duct adenocarcinoma cell line A253 was treated with TNFα, curcumin (a phytochemical widely used to inhibit NF-κB activation), and other growth factors and signaling inhibitors. Western blot assay, immunocytochemistry, cell cycle assay, and migration assay were utilized in this assay.
resultsTreatment with TNFα decreased p63 expression and increased p21 expression. Treatment with curcumin enhanced the effects of TNFα-related signaling on p63 downregulation and p21 upregulation, while pretreatment with an anti-TNFα antibody, TGF-β type I receptor inhibitor EW-7196 and JNK inhibitor SP600125 inhibited the effects. Treatment with HDAC inhibitors decreased p63 expression, increased p21 expression and inhibited cell migration and cell proliferation.
conclusionsp63 expression and its functions are regulated via various signaling pathways, and there is reciprocity between p63 and p21 via TNFα/NF-κB-related signaling in p63-positive salivary duct adenocarcinoma cells. Because apoptosis was not directly assessed in this study, our conclusions are limited to p63/p21 expression, cell cycle distribution and cell migration.
