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
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is involved in animal embryonic development and reproductive physiology. The human and murine BMP4 genes have been isolated and characterized. The objectives of this study were to: (1) characterize the full mRNA and genomic sequence for porcine BMP4, and (2) examine BMP4 gene expression in 10 tissues of postnatal female pigs. Using RT-PCR, RACE and general PCR techniques, a 1,626 bp DNA including the full coding region of BMP4 was isolated and identified as a homologue of human BMP4 transcript variant (TV)-c. The porcine TV-c contained 3 exons and astride 3.6 kb in the isolated 7.8 kb porcine BMP4 genome. The In silicon cloning identified other three forms of mRNAs, including the homologues of human TV-1, TV-a and a novel variant related to human TV-3 (TV-3p). The porcine TV-c, TV-1 and TV-3p bear internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) in 5' untranslated region (UTR), while there are two ARE elements in the 3'UTR. The full genomic sequence of porcine BMP4 gene showed 81.38, 76.23 and 64.00% identity with that of bovine, human and murine, respectively. The expression of BMP4 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR in 7, 14, and 28 day old female piglets and non-gestational sows. The results showed that porcine BMP4 occurred in all 10 examined tissues (heart, lung, liver, kidney, ovary, spleen, spinal medulla, brain, duodenum and thymus). The mRNA expression levels were relatively higher in lung and kidney in 7 day old piglets, thymus in 14 day old piglets, and spleen in 28 day old piglets, respectively, while the higher expressions were detected in liver of non-gestational pigs (P < 0.05). Moreover, the mRNA amounts both in 7 day old piglets and sows were generally higher than those in 14 and 28 day old piglets in nearly all examined tissues, except in thymus. It is concluded that the structure of porcine BMP4 gene is highly conservative with other mammalian BMP4 genes, but some differences may present in the regulation of gene expression. BMP4 mRNAs are expressed in postnatal pigs, and is spatiotemporally regulated.
