Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Layilin (LAYN) plays an important role in tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis; however, its role in cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL) has not been elucidated. Methods: We utilized the GEPIA, STRING, and hTFtarget databases for bioinformatics analysis. Overexpression or knockdown cell lines were constructed by transfecting the cells with different plasmids. Western blot (WB) was performed to detect LAYN, TLN1, and CREB1 expression. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasiveness were assessed using CCK-8 and Transwell assays. Immunofluorescence and WB were used to detect epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. The CHOL metastasis model was established by injecting RBE cells into the tail veins of nude mice. Metastatic lesions were identified using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Co-immunoprecipitation and Chromatin immunoprecipitation were used to validate the interactions. Results: LAYN was highly expressed in the CHOL cells. Knockdown of LAYN significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT in both QBC-939 and RBE human CHOL cells, while overexpression of LAYN had the opposite effect. Furthermore, in a CHOL metastasis model using nude mice, knocking down LAYN expression markedly suppressed CHOL liver and lung metastases. LAYN interacts with TLN1, and CREB1 binds to the LAYN promoter, with all three showing a positive correlation. Additionally, bioinformatics analysis revealed high expression of both TLN1 and CREB1 in CHOL. Knockdown of TLN1 or CREB1 in QBC-939 and RBE cells inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT, reversing the effects of LAYN overexpression. Moreover, knockdown of TLN1 or CREB1 also suppressed the expression of ITGB1 and the phosphorylation levels of c-Jun, p38 MAPK, and ERK, further reversing the effects of LAYN overexpression. Conclusion: Our results suggest that CREB1 promotes CHOL metastasis through transcriptional regulation of the LAYN-mediated TLN1/β1 integrin axis.
