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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a lethal and common malignancy worldwide. Non‑coding (nc)RNAs have been shown to modulate tumor progression in several types of cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the role of hsa_circ_0000212 in CRC, as a sponge of microRNA (miR)‑491. The expression levels of miR‑491 and forkhead box P4 (FOXP4) were analyzed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The association between miR‑491 and FOXP4 and the clinicopathological characteristics were also analyzed. A novel circular (circ)RNA, hsa_circ_0000212, was found to sponge miR‑491 based on bioinformatics analysis. The potential binding site between miR‑491 and FOXP4 or circ‑0000212 was validated using luciferase and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. The expression levels and distribution of circ‑0000212 was also determined. Cell Counting Kit‑8 and colony formation assays were performed to determine the role of miR‑491 or circ‑0000212 on the proliferation of the CRC cells. Decreased miR‑491 or increased FOXP4 expression levels were associated with the pathological stage in patients with CRC. In addition, miR‑491 inhibited cell proliferation by targeting FOXP4. circ‑0000212 was increased in CRC tissues and was predominantly localized in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, circ‑0000212 augmented viability of the CRC cells by sponging miR‑491 and modulating FOXP4. In conclusion, circ‑0000212 may serve as a novel tumor‑promoter and drug target in CRC.
