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
The intestinal epithelium has a high rate of cell turn over and is an excellent system to study stem cell-mediated tissue homeostasis. The Misshapen subfamily of the Ste20 kinases in mammals consists of misshapen like kinase 1 (MINK1), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAP4K4), and TRAF2 and NCK interacting kinase (TNIK). Recent reports suggest that this subfamily has a novel function equal to the Hippo/MST subfamily as upstream kinases for Warts/Large tumor suppressor kinase (LATS) to suppress tissue growth. To study the in vivo functions of Mink1, Map4k4, and Tnik, we generated a compound knockout of these three genes in the mouse intestinal epithelium. The intestinal epithelia of the mutant animals were phenotypically normal up to approximately 12 months. The older animals then exhibited mildly increased proliferation throughout the lower GI tract. We also observed that the normally spatially organized Paneth cells in the crypt base became dispersed. The expression of one of the YAP pathway target genes Sox9 was increased while other target genes including CTGF did not show a significant change. Therefore, the Misshapen and Hippo subfamilies may have highly redundant functions to regulate growth in the intestinal epithelium, as illustrated in recent tissue culture models.
