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
Epigenetic regulation is important for T-cell fate decision. Although STAT3 is known to initiate Th17 differentiation program, the downstream mechanism is unclear. Here we show that Tripartite motif containing 28 (Trim28) expression in Th17 cells is required for Th17-mediated cytokine production and experimental autoimmune diseases. Genome-wide occupancy analysis reveals that TRIM28-bound regions overlap with almost all Th17-specific super-enhancers (SE), and that those SEs are impaired by the deficiency of STAT3 or TRIM28, but not of RORγt. Importantly, IL-6-STAT3 signaling facilitates TRIM28 binding to the Il17-Il17f locus, and this process is required for epigenetic activation and high-order chromosomal interaction. TRIM28 also forms a complex with STAT3 and RORγt, and promotes the recruitment of RORγt to its target cytokine genes. Our study thus suggests TRIM28 to be important for the epigenetic activation during Th17 cell differentiation, and prompts the potential use of epigenetic interventions for Th17-related autoimmune diseases.
