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 synthesis of macrolide 2'-phosphotransferase I [Mph(A)], which inactivates erythromycin, is inducible by erythromycin. The expression of high-level resistance to erythromycin requires the mph(A) and mrx genes, which encode Mph(A) and an unidentified protein, respectively. We have studied the mphR(A) gene, which regulates the inducible expression of mph(A). An analysis of the synthesis of Mph(A) in minicells and results of a complementation test indicated that mphR(A) is located downstream from mrx and that its product, MphR(A), represses the production of Mph(A). DNA sequencing indicated that the mph(A), mrx, and mphR(A) genes exist as a cluster that begins with mph(A) and that the deduced amino acid sequence of MphR(A) can adopt an alpha-helix-turn-alpha-helix structure. To study the regulation of gene expression by MphR(A), we performed Northern blotting and primer extension. A transcript of 2. 9 kb that corresponded to the transcript of mph(A) through mphR(A) was detected, and its level was elevated upon exposure of cells to erythromycin. Gel mobility shift assays and DNase I footprinting indicated that MphR(A) binds specifically to the promoter region of mph(A), and the amount of DNA shifted as a results of the binding of MphR(A) decreased as the concentration of erythromycin was increased. These results indicate that transcription of the mph(A)-mrx-mphR(A) operon is negatively regulated by the binding of a repressor protein, MphR(A), to the promoter of the mph(A) gene and is activated upon inhibition of binding of MphR(A) to the promoter in the presence of erythromycin.
