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
backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized by high morbidity and mortality in the world. Growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) has been proved to play an important role in regulating tumor progression. However, the influence of GDF15 on NSCLC remains unclear.
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the regulatory role of GDF15 in NSCLC.
methodsThe correlation between GDF15 expression and prognosis, stage of NSCLC was examined with bioinformatics method. The cell proliferation was detected with CCK8 and EdU staining. Wound healing, Transwell, flow cytometry assays were used to measure cell migration, invasion, and apoptosis, respectively.
resultsHigh expression of GDF15 is correlated with worse survival and malignant progression of NSCLC. Knockdown of GDF15 restrained the proliferation, invasion, migration, but accelerated apoptosis of lung cancer cells through regulating PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. sh-GDF15 suppressed epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and promoted the chemotherapy sensitivity of lung cancer cells.
conclusionGDF15 plays an important role in NSCLC progression. GDF15 mediated PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway might be the potential therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of GDF15.
