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
In order to develop a model system of infantile hemangioma, transgenic mice were developed carrying the Polyomavirus Middle T (PyMT) gene driven by the SV40 late promoter. From the 520 fertilized eggs surviving microinjection, there were 25 live births. Three of these showed the hemangioma phenotype and carried and expressed the PyMT gene; the remaining descendants were normal. The tumors showed abnormal vascular proliferation with cavernous hemangioma-like structures in the skin surface, tongue, ear mucosa and gastric mucosal tissue in the transgenic mice with hemangioma phenotype. Immunohistochemical staining for Ki-67 was negative, showing the tumors were hemangiomas rather than angiosarcomas. None of the PyMT transgenic mice survived beyond 4 weeks. Previously reported PyMT transgenic mice under the control of various promoters induce many tumor types including hemangiomas. PyMT driven by the SV40 late promoter is an improved model system because it only induces hemangiomas. However, it is limited by the post-natal lethality. Thus, conditional variants of this model system would be desirable.
