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
backgroundEsophageal cancer (EC) is the ninth most common cancer worldwide that kills about 300,000 people each year. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the main type of EC. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proven to be severely dysregulated in EC, but the functions of more lncRNAs still need to be explored.
methodsTo explore the new molecular mechanism of ESCC development, the online biology databases (GEO, lncRNASNP2, Starbase, TargetScan) were employed to investigate the novel pathways implicated. To assess the expression levels of FLG-AS1, miR-23a-3p, and associated genes, we utilized RT-qPCR. The expression of HOXD10 was evaluated through western blotting analysis. To elucidate the regulatory interactions among FLG-AS1, miR-23a-3p, and HOXD10, a combination of dual luciferase assays, silencing techniques, and overexpression studies were conducted. The migratory and invasive capabilities of the cells were examined using a transwell apparatus. Cell viability was measured employing the CCK-8 assay, while apoptosis was detected through Annexin V/PI double staining methodology. Concentrations of glucose and lactic acid were determined utilizing appropriate biochemical kits.
resultsFLG-AS1 and HOXD10 exhibited low expression levels in ESCC cells, whereas miR-23a-3p was found to be highly expressed. FLG-AS1 was observed to reduce the free level of miR-23a-3p by directly binding to it, and in turn, miR-23a-3p inhibited the expression of HOXD10 by targeting its mRNA. The overexpression of FLG-AS1 and HOXD10 resulted in the attenuation of anaerobic glycolysis, as well as a decrease in the migratory and invasive capabilities of ESCC cells, effectively reversing their resistance to cisplatin. Conversely, the upregulation of miR-23a-3p yielded opposing effects. Furthermore, ESCC patients exhibiting elevated levels of FLG-AS1 and HOXD10, alongside reduced expression of miR-23a-3p, demonstrated a significantly higher 5-year survival rate post-surgery.
conclusionFLG-AS1 effectively inhibits the progression of ESCC and counters cisplatin resistance through the modulation of the miR-23a-3p/HOXD10 axis. This is a new mechanism affecting ESCC and will provide new ideas for the targeted therapy of ESCC.
