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
17 beta-estradiol (E2), progesterone (P) and testosterone (T) were investigated for their effects on the proliferation and differentiation of primary rat calvarial osteoblasts in vitro. Rat calvarial osteoblasts were cultured with 10(-10) mol/L E2, 10(-9)-10(-6) mol/L P and 10(-10) mol/L T for 20 days. Cell proliferation was determined by 3H-thymidine incorporation and cell counting. Cell differentiation was examined by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteocalcin gene expression and production, bone nodule formation in different periods of culture. Our results showed that no effect of three sex hormones was observed on cell proliferation, but, the responses of cell differentiation to the hormones were more or less different. Among these three hormones used in this study, P appeared to have multi-stimulating effect on cell differentiation. Effect of T seemed not so significant as that of P on cell differentiation. Although ALP activity and osteocalcin production were increased significantly by T, it had slight effect on osteocalcin mRNA and bone nodule formation. Besides, E2 did not demonstrate any effect on cell differentiation. It is concluded that the proliferation of rat calvarial osteoblasts was independent of the presence of sex hormones. However, the differentiation of these cells were stimulated in different levels and to different extent either by P or T. P appeared to be a multi-stimulator on differentiation of such cells.
