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 investigate the effects of albumin on the production of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) in podocytes. Podocytes were treated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at the concentration of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 g/L, respectively. Conditioned media were harvested 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after the treatment. The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was assayed by gelatin zymography, RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis. Our results showed that in comparison with the control group, BSA increased the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA and protein in a dose- and time-dependent manner (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the enzymatic activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the culture supernatants of podocytes were also increased (P<0.05). It is concluded that albumin up-regulated the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 at gene and protein levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner.
