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
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma, which has been found to be associated with TGF-beta signaling. Activin A is a TGF-β family cytokine that exhibits cell proliferation inhibition on normal hepatocyte. How HBV-encoded X oncoprotein play in activin's activity on hepatocyte has not been developed. In this study, a nontumor hepatic cell line HL7702 with HBX ectogenic expression has been established. MTT and BrdU assays showed that HBx promoted growth of HL7702 cells in vitro and downregulated activin signaling. Deregulated activin signaling pathway by HBX failed to activate target gene p21/waf1 and p15 transcription. In addition, mammalian two-hybrid and coimmunoprecipitation assays revealed that HBX could directly interact with activin signaling transduction protein Smad4, making activated Smad2/3/4 nucleus translocation suppressed. Furthermore, we detected that leptomycin B, the inhibitor of CRM1 protein, could recover nuclear translocation of endogenous Smads complex in HL7702 with HBX expression, indicating that HBX antagonized Smads nucleus translocation, at least partially, on CRM1-dependent manner. Leptomycin B was found to have antigrowth activity on HBX-expressed HL7702, according to its antitumor function in previous study. Above all, HBX antagonized activin signaling in normal human liver cells by interacting with Smad4 might one of the considerable causes of HBX-induced hepatocyte transformation, which deprived activin's cell growth inhibition function at an early stage of tumorigenesis.
