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
To observe the alteration in the expression of DNA repair enzymes hOGG1 and hMYHalpha and the change in 8-OHdG levels in the HBx gene-transfected cells HepG2/HBx and to explore the mechanisms of the HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma, the gene-transfected cells HepG2/HBx which stably expressed HBx was established, and the effect of HBx on the cell cycle and proliferation of HepG2 was examined. By using the beta-actin as the interior control, real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time qPCR) was employed to quantitatively detect the expression of DNA repair enzymes hOGG1 and hMYHalpha in the HepG2/HBx, the control cells HepG2 and HepG2 transfected with pcDNA3.1 vector (HepG2/pDNA3.1). The 8-OHdG levels were determined by HPLC/ECD in the established gene-transfected cells HepG2/HBx and the control cells HepG2 and HepG2/pcDNA3.1. Our results showed that the expression of DNA repair enzyme hMYHalpha in the HepG2/HBx (0.021+/-0.007) was significantly lower than that of HepG2 (0.099+/-0.041) (P<0.05) and HepG2/pDNA3.1 (0.121+/-0.005) (P<0.05). However, the no significant differences existed in the expression of DNA repair enzyme hOGG1 among the three cell strains (P>0.05). The 8-OHdG level in the HepG2/HBx was significantly higher than that in HepG2 and HepG2/pcDNA3.1 (P<0.05). It is concluded that HBx gene may inhibit the expression of DNA repair enzyme hMYHalpha mRNA to impair the ability to repair the intracellular DNA oxidative damage, to increase the oxidative DNA-adduct 8-OHdG and to affect the nucleotide excision repair function, thus participate in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma.
