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
Skeletal myogenesis is coordinated by multiple signaling pathways that control cell adhesion/migration, survival and differentiation accompanied by muscle-specific gene expression. A cell surface protein Cdo is involved in cell contact-mediated promyogenic signals through activation of p38MAPK and AKT. Protein kinase C-related kinase 2 (PKN2/PRK2) is implicated in regulation of various biological processes, including cell migration, adhesion and death. It has been shown to interact with and inhibit AKT thereby inducing cell death. This led us to investigate the role of PKN2 in skeletal myogenesis and the crosstalk between PKN2 and Cdo. Like Cdo, PKN2 was upregulated in C2C12 myoblasts during differentiation and decreased in cells with Cdo depletion caused by shRNA or cultured on integrin-independent substratum. This decline of PKN2 levels resulted in diminished AKT activation during myoblast differentiation. Consistently, PKN2 overexpression-enhanced C2C12 myoblast differentiation, whereas PKN2-depletion impaired it, without affecting cell survival. PKN2 formed complexes with Cdo, APPL1 and AKT via its C-terminal region and this interaction appeared to be important for induction of AKT activity as well as myoblast differentiation. Furthermore, PKN2-enhanced MyoD-responsive reporter activities by mediating the recruitment of BAF60c and MyoD to the myogenin promoter. Taken together, PKN2 has a critical role in cell adhesion-mediated AKT activation during myoblast differentiation.
