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
A 163 bp enhancer in the CYP2B2 5' flank confers PB (phenobarbital) inducibility and constitutes a PBRU (PB response unit). The PBRU contains several transcription factor binding sites, including NR1, NR2 and NR3, which are direct repeats separated by 4 bp of the nuclear receptor consensus half-site AGGTCA, as well as an ER (everted repeat) separated by 7 bp (ER-7). Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR)-RXR (retinoic X receptor) heterodimers are known to bind to NR1, NR2 and NR3. Electrophoretic mobility-shift analysis using nuclear extracts from livers of untreated or PB-treated rats revealed binding of several other proteins to different PBRU elements. Using supershift analysis and in vitro coupled transcription and translation, the proteins present in four retarded complexes were identified as TRbeta (thyroid hormone receptor beta), LXR (liver X receptor), HNF-4 (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4) and heterodimers of PBX-PREP1 (pre-B cell homoeobox-Pbx regulatory protein 1). LXR-RXR heterodimers bound to NR3 and TRbeta bound to NR3, NR1 and ER-7, whereas the PBX-PREP1 site is contained within NR2. The HNF-4 site overlaps with NR1. A mutation described previously, GRE1m1, which decreases PB responsiveness, increased the affinity of this site for HNF-4. The PBRU also contains a site for nuclear factor 1. The PBRU thus contains a plethora of transcription factor binding sites. The profiles of transcription factor binding to NR1 and NR3 were quite similar, although strikingly different from, and more complex than, that of NR2. This parallels the functional differences in conferring PB responsiveness between NR1 and NR3 on the one hand, and NR2 on the other.
