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
Transposon insertions occasionally occur in the promoter regions of plant genes, many of which are still capable of being transcribed. However, it remains unclear how transcription of such promoters is able to occur. Insertion of the Tam3 transposon into various genes of Antirrhinum majus can confer leaky phenotypes without its excision. These genes, named Tam3-permissible alleles, often contain Tam3 in their promoter regions. Two alleles at different anthocyanin biosynthesis loci, nivea(recurrensTam3) (niv(rec)) and pallida(recurrensTam3) (pal(rec)), both contain Tam3 at a similar position immediately upstream of the promoter TATA-box; however, these insertions had different phenotypic consequences. Under conditions where the inserted Tam3 is immobilized, the niv(rec) line produces pale red petals, whereas the pal(rec) line produces no pigment. These pigmentation patterns are correlated with the level of transcripts from the niv(rec) or pal(rec) alleles, and these transcriptional activities are independent of DNA methylation in their promoter regions. In niv(rec), Tam3 is inserted in an orientation that results in the 3' end of Tam3 adjacent to the 5' region of the gene coding sequence. In contrast, the pal(rec) allele contains a Tam3 insertion in the opposite orientation. Four of five different nonrelated genes that are also Tam3-permissible alleles and contain Tam3 within the promoter region share the same Tam3 orientation as niv(rec). The different transcriptional activities dependent on Tam3 orientation in the Antirrhinum promoters were consistent with expression of luciferase reporter constructs introduced into yeast chromosomes but not with transient expression of these constructs in Antirrhinum cells. These results suggest that for Tam3 to sustain stable transcriptional activity in various promoters it must be embedded in chromatin.
