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
This study examined the expression patterns of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 5 (Pcsk5) during anorectal development in normal and anorectal malformations (ARM) rat embryos, determine the possible role of Pcsk5 in the pathogenesis of ARM. An ARM rat model was developed by the administration of ethylenethiourea gestational day 10 (GD10). Embryos were harvested by surgical excision from GD13 to GD16, and the spatiotemporal expression of Pcsk5 was evaluated, using immunohistochemistry staining, Western blotting and real time RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry staining in normal embryos revealed that Pcsk5 was abundantly expressed on the epithelium of the cloaca (CL) on GD13. On GD14 and GD15, positive cells were noted on the urorectal septum and the thin anal membrane. However, the epithelium of the CL of ARM embryos only faintly expressed Pcsk5 from GD13 to GD15. Western blotting and real time RT-PCR showed time-dependent increase of Pcsk5 expression in the developing hindgut. Pcsk5 expression levels were lower in the ARM group from GD14 to GD16 (p ≤ 0.05). These results indicate that downregulation of Pcsk5 during cloaca development into the rectum and urethra might be related to the formation of ARMs.
