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: The diagnostic potential of tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) across various cancer types has gained increasing recognition; however, the relationship between alternative splicing (AS) events in TEPs and tumor development remains understudied. Early detection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in ground-glass opacities (GGOs) is critical for improving patient outcomes, yet current methods lack sufficient accuracy. Our research identified diagnostic-related alternative splicing events (DASEs) in TEPs, revealing several promising biomarkers for NSCLC, specifically in patients presenting with GGOs. Methods: Patients with GGOs from two hospitals were prospectively enrolled [Hospital 1-Platelet (H1-P) and Hospital 2-Tissue (H2-T) in the validation cohort; Hospital 2-Platelet (H2-P) in the test cohort]. Benign/malignant diagnosis of GGOs was confirmed by pathological examination according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. TEPs from the H1-P cohort were collected for transcriptome sequencing and AS analysis. Chi-square tests, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were used for the preliminary screening of DASEs. Pathological tissue from the H2-T cohort was collected to validate the diagnostic efficacy of hub DASEs in NSCLC against the pathological gold standard. Moreover, TEPs from the H2-P cohort were used to assess the predictive performance of hub DASEs for GGOs using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to determine whether diagnosing NSCLC in the GGOs population via hub DASEs could benefit patients. Results: A total of 285 patients with GGOs were enrolled, including 151 NSCLC and 128 inflammatory nodules confirmed by pathological examination. Thirteen DASEs were screened with the chi-square test and LASSO regression analysis to identify diagnostic TEP AS markers for GGOs NSCLC. The PPI network identified four hub diagnostic-related alternative splice genes (DASGs) ( Conclusions: The specific diagnostic AS events (MXE-32112-
