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
Bidirectional promoters are regulatory regions co-regulating the expression of two neighbouring genes organized in a head-to-head orientation. In recent years, these regulatory regions have been studied in many organisms; however, no investigation to date has been done to analyse the genetic variation of the activity of this type of promoter regions. In our study, we conducted an investigation to first identify bidirectional promoters sharing genes expressed in bovine Longissimus thoracis and then to find genetic variants affecting the activity of some of these bidirectional promoters. Combining bovine gene information and expression data obtained using RNA-Seq, we identified 120 putative bidirectional promoters active in bovine muscle. We experimentally validated in vitro 16 of these bidirectional promoters. Finally, using gene expression and whole-genome genotyping data, we explored the variability of the activity in muscle of the identified bidirectional promoters and discovered genetic variants affecting their activity. We found that the expression level of 77 genes is correlated with the activity of 12 bidirectional promoters. We also identified 57 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the activity of 5 bidirectional promoters. To our knowledge, our study is the first analysis in any species of the genetic variability of the activity of bidirectional promoters.
