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 role of autophagy in glioma remains controversial, with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) playing a crucial role in its regulation. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification influences lncRNA expression and function. Specifically, lncRNA EIF3J-AS1 acts as an oncogene in glioma, yet the mechanisms driving its upregulation remain unclear. This study demonstrates that EIF3J-AS1 expression is significantly elevated in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) compared to low-grade glioma (LGG) and normal brain tissue. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) identified EIF3J-AS1 as a target of the tumor suppressor miR-101, with functional assays showing its role in promoting glioma cell proliferation, inhibiting autophagy, and enhancing tumorigenesis in vivo. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) and bioinformatics analyses confirmed m6A modification of EIF3J-AS1, which correlates positively with the m6A methyltransferase METTL3 in glioma tissues. Mechanistically, METTL3 promotes m6A-dependent binding of EIF3J-AS1 to the transcription factor FOXG1. RNA-seq screening further identified macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), an autophagy-promoting gene, as a downstream target of both METTL3 and EIF3J-AS1. Functional validation revealed that the METTL3/EIF3J-AS1/FOXG1 axis suppresses autophagy via MIF downregulation. Conversely, miR-101-mediated suppression of METTL3 disrupts EIF3J-AS1-FOXG1 binding, restoring MIF expression and promoting autophagy. These findings highlight EIF3J-AS1 and METTL3 as potential therapeutic targets, with disruption of EIF3J-AS1-FOXG1 interactions representing a novel autophagy-modulating strategy for glioma treatment.
