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
The M2 macrophages are major components in the tumor microenvironment and are closely linked to immune suppression and tumor metastasis. This work focuses on how M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) affect colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. THP-1 monocytes were induced to differentiate to M0 or M2 macrophages, and the macrophage-derived EVs (M0-EVs and M2-EVs, respectively) were collected and identified. The M2-EVs stimulation augmented proliferation, mobility, and the in vivo tumorigenic activity of CRC cells. Circular RNA_CCDC66 (circ_CCDC66) was highly enriched in M2-EVs and could be delivered into CRC cells. The RNA pull-down and luciferase assays showed that circ_CCDC66 could competitively bind to microRNA (miR)-342-3p, therefore restoring the expression of metadherin (MTDH) mRNA, a target transcript of miR-342-3p. Suppression of circ_CCDC66 in the M2-EVs or specific knockdown of MTDH in CRC significantly blocked the growth and mobility of CRC cells. However, miR-342-3p inhibition restored the malignant phenotype of cancer cells. Moreover, the MTDH knockdown was found to increase the cytotoxicity of CD8
