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
Avian histone H5 and alpha A-globin genes are transcribed much more efficiently in whole cell extracts derived from immature polychromatic erythrocytes than in extracts from mature duck erythrocytes. We found that these differential activities are detectable only if assayed with promoters containing a functional TATA box. The addition of either highly purified human or recombinant yeast transcription factor IIA (TFIIA) to extracts from mature erythrocytes resulted in a significant increase in transcription from TATA-containing promoters, whereas transcription from TATA-less promoters remained unaffected. Moreover, the activity of TFIIA was found to be reduced in extracts from mature erythrocytes. These data support the proposition that inactivation of TFIIA may contribute to a general repression of gene activity in avian erythrocytes, and only those genes with alternative mechanisms of initiation complex formation continue to be expressed in these cells. In the case of the histone H5 gene, such an alternative mechanism could be mediated via the interaction between duck erythrocyte upstream stimulating factor and TFIID.
