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
ZmMRP-1 is a single MYB-domain transcription factor specifically expressed in the transfer cell layer of the maize endosperm, where it directly regulates the expression of a number of transfer cell specific genes and very likely contributes to the regulation of the transfer cell differentiation process. It is still a matter of debate, however, how this type of transcription factors interact with the promoter sequences they regulate. In this work we have investigated the existence of proteins interacting with ZmMRP-1 in the transfer cell nuclei. In a yeast double-hybrid screen we identified two related maize proteins, ZmMRPI-1 and ZmMRPI-2 belonging to the C(2)H(2) zinc finger protein family, which interact with ZmMRP-1 and modulate its activity on transfer cell specific promoters. Two ZmMRPI orthologous genes were also identified in the rice and Arabidopsis genomes. The expression pattern in maize and Arabidopsis suggest a role for these proteins in gene regulation at the exchange surfaces where ZmMRP-1 is expressed providing the first indication of their function. We show that this previously uncharacterized family of proteins encodes nuclear proteins that interact with MYB-related transcription factors through their C-terminal conserved domain.
