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
We investigated spatial and temporal expression of bGH controlled by two different sizes (1.8 kb and 15 kb) of 5'-flanking sequences of the bovine beta-casein in transgenic mice. In the 1.8-kb promoter-containing mice, bGH expression was specifically confined to lung and mammary gland at lactation. While mammary gland expression was highly variable depending on the lines, lung expression was relatively constant with a high level in most lines. Moreover, this dual-tissue specificity of bGH expression was consistently retained in all of the 15 kb-promoter-containing mice, although a low ectopic expression was sometimes detected in salivary gland or brain. During mammary gland development in the 1.8-kb promoter-containing mice was mammary gland expression first detected at lactation, following the bovine rather than murine pattern of beta-casein expression. In contrast, lung expression was almost constant regardless of mammary gland developmental state or sex. Therefore, it can be concluded that a combination of the bovine beta-casein promoter and bGH gene directs a distinct dual-tissue specific bGH expression with different regulatory mechanisms between mammary gland and lung and as little as 1.8-kb promoter is sufficient for the proper regulation of the bovine beta-casein gene in mammary gland.
