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

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common types of malignant tumors located within the digestive system, with >50% of esophageal cancer cases worldwide occurring in China. Recent studies have demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are frequently dysregulated in cancer; however, few lncRNAs have been characterized in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In the present study, a novel lncRNA, SET-binding factor 2 (SBF2) antisense RNA1 (SBF2-AS1) was exhibited in ESCC. Expression levels of SBF2-AS1 in ESCC and adjacent non-cancerous tissues were detected using the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. SBF2-AS1 was knocked down, and proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis and the cell cycle were examined in ESCC cells. Results identified that SBF2-AS1 was significantly upregulated in ESCC compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues (fold increase, 8.82; P=0.023). The SBF2-AS1 expression level was significantly increased in patients who had a smoking (9.927 vs. 4.507; P=0.030) and/or drinking (10.938 vs. 4.232; P=0.032) history. Patients with a large tumor size exhibited increased SBF2-AS1 expression (≥4 vs. <4 cm, 14.898 vs. 5.435; P=0.018). Patients with advanced ESCC exhibited increased upregulation of SBF2-AS1 [tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) I-II vs. TNM III-IV, 1.302 vs. 15.475; P<0.01]. SBF2-AS1 was also silenced using small interfering RNA. Cell proliferative and invasive ability were significantly inhibited (P<0.05) following SBF2-AS1 silencing, the cell cycle was arrested in the G
