Evolutionary conserved mechanism of transcriptional repression by even-skipped.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Even-skipped (Eve) is a transcriptional repressor involved in segment formation in Drosophila melano-gaster. In order to gain further insights into the mechanism of action of Eve we tested whether it would function as a transcriptional repressor in mammalian cells. We found that Eve was indeed a potent repressor in two different mammalian cell types and at several promoters. In vitro transcription assays confirmed that Eve directly represses transcription initiation when specifically targeted to a promoter. We also found that, unlike the case with transcriptional activators, Eve does not repress transcription synergistically. Analysis of the effect of Eve on preinitiation complex assembly in a crude HeLa cell nuclear extract demonstrated that the Eve repression domain functions by preventing the assembly of TFIID with the promoter. Our data support the hypothesis that Eve contains an active repression domain that functions specifically to prevent preinitiation complex formation.
