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
Overexpression of apolipoprotein E (apoE) induces hypertriglyceridemia in apoE-deficient mice, which is abrogated by deletion of the carboxy-terminal segment of residues 260-299. We have used adenovirus-mediated gene transfer in apoE-/- and apoA-I-/- mice to test the effect of three sets of apoE mutations within the region of residues 261-265 on the induction of hypertriglyceridemia, the esterification of cholesterol of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and the formation of spherical or discoidal apoE-containing HDL. A single-amino acid substitution (apoE4[Phe265Ala]) induced hypertriglyceridemia in apoE-/- or apoA-I-/- mice, promoted the accumulation of free cholesterol in the very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and HDL region, and decreased HDL cholesterol levels. A double substitution (apoE4[Leu261Ala/Trp264Ala]) induced milder hypertriglyceridemia and increased HDL cholesterol levels. A triple substitution (apoE4[Leu261Ala/Trp264Ala/Phe265Ala] or apoE2[Leu261Ala/Trp264Ala/Phe265Ala]) did not induce hypertriglyceridemia and increased greatly the HDL cholesterol levels. Electron microscopy (EM) analysis of the HDL fractions showed that apoE4[Leu261Ala/Trp264Ala/Phe265Ala] and apoE2[Leu261Ala/Trp264Ala/Phe265Ala] contained spherical HDL, apoE4[Leu261Ala/Trp264Ala] contained mostly spherical and few discoidal HDL particles, and apoE4[Phe265Ala] contained discoidal HDL. We conclude that residues Leu261, Trp264, and Phe265 play an important role in apoE-induced hypertriglyceridemia, the accumulation of free cholesterol in VLDL and HDL, and the formation of discoidal HDL. Substitution of these residues with Ala improves the apoE functions by preventing hypertriglyceridemia and promoting formation of spherical apoE-containing HDL.
