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
backgroundHepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common malignant solid tumor of the liver in children and is a fatal disease with a poor prognosis. Therefore, indicators that can be used for the early prediction of the HB prognosis are necessary. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is a glucose transporter protein present in the proximal renal tubules. Studies have shown that SGLT2 is associated with the occurrence of tumors and is upregulated in various tumors. Peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4) is an antioxidant enzyme with a secretory function and is located in the cytoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum. Recent reports have suggested that it is closely related to the development and prognosis of various cancers. To some degree, this is highly suggestive of the interplay between SGLT2 and PRDX4.
methodsIn the present study, clinical data and post-surgical paraffin-embedded specimens from 75 HB patients were collected, and hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining of SGLT2 and PRDX4 were used to analyze their expression and correlation with the clinicopathological features and prognosis.
resultsWe found that low SGLT2 and high PRDX4 expression predicted a significantly shorter survival and worse clinical condition in HB patients. Furthermore, when low SGLT2 expression was combined with high PRDX4 expression, the event-free survival and overall survival were significantly reduced. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses showed that low SGLT2 and high PRDX4 expression in HB were independent prognostic factors for the survival after surgical resection.
conclusionThe immunohistochemical combination of low SGLT2 and high PRDX4 expression can independently predict a poor prognosis in HB patients.
