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
Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) shows tumor-suppressor activity by suppressing proliferation of cancer cells. To exert its anti-proliferative effects, this factor must ultimately control transcription of several key genes that regulate cell cycle progression. Here, we showed that Ki-67 gene is a novel proliferation-related downstream target of IRF1. IRF1 repressed Ki-67 gene transcription in a dose-dependent manner in human Ketr-3 and 786-O renal carcinoma cells. We previously cloned the Ki-67 core promoter which contained two functional Sp1 binding sites. Mutation of the two Sp1 binding sites abrogated Sp1-dependent enhancement of Ki-67 promoter activity. Forced elevation of IRF1 decreased endogenous Sp1 protein level. However, there was no effect on Sp1 mRNA level after transfected with IRF1. Our findings establish a casual series of events that connect anti-proliferative effects of IRF1 with the Ki-67 gene, which encodes a key regulator of the G1/S phase transition. It suggests that the inhibitory effect on Ki-67 gene expression mediated by decreasing level of Sp1 protein might be a novel function of the anti-tumor activity of IRF1.
