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 a previous study, we demonstrated that telomerase transcriptional elements-interacting factor (TEIF) could up-regulate the expression of telomerase and DNA polymerase beta, increasing resistance to genotoxic agents. Here, we further report that TEIF can be stimulated by DNA damage and we have identified a cluster of repeated polypyrimidine tracts in the promoter of TEIF, which mediate both its basal transcription and its response to genotoxic agents. These polypyrimidine tracts are arranged in three types of repeating units and in each of these units there are 14 bp length tandem sequences, which are repeated three times. These sequences are also characteristically separated by an 11 bp interval sequence. Among these units, one type (5'-CCCCCCCATCCCCG-3') has been found to be involved in the transcriptional regulation of TEIF. At the same time, PTB1 (polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1) has been shown to repress TEIF expression through interaction with this element. Up-regulation of TEIF may be achieved by PTB1 suppression that is induced by DNA damage, or by an olignucleotide decoy, which mediates reversal of suppression. This study provides new insight into the mechanism through which TEIF is involved in DNA damage response, together with insight into the role of polypyrimidine tracts in transcription regulation.
