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
backgroundMixed lineage leukemia (MLL) fusion protein alone exhibits poor histone lysine methyltransferase (HKMT) activity in catalyzing histone H3 Lys4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) in MLL-rearranged acute leukemia.
methodsTo explore the HKMT effect of another regulatory protein within the complex of proteins associated with Set 1 (COMPASS), we analyzed the H3K4me3 modification of the HOXC8 promoter under the action of ASH2L regulation. Small interfering RNA of ASH2L, chromatin immunoprecipitation, real-time-PCR (RT-PCR), and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of specific regions of the HOXC8 promoter, RBBP5, WDR5, MLL, and BRTF in two MLL-rearranged acute leukemia cell lines (RS4:11 and THP-1 cells).
resultsThe gene and protein expression levels of HOXC8 were significantly downregulated upon treatment with ASH2L-siRNA (as analyzed by targeting specific regions of the HOXC8 promoter located 0 and 3 kb (-3.0 kb) upstream of the transcriptional start site in RSH:11 cells; and -3.0 and -2.0 kb upstream of the transcriptional start site, and +1.4 kb downstream of the transcriptional start site in THP-1 cells). The expression levels of the BRTF, RBBP5, WDR5, and MLL genes were significantly downregulated from the different transcriptional start sites of the HOXC8 promoter in the RSH:11 cell line (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the BPTF and RBBP5 genes were downregulated from the HOXC8 promoter in the THP-1 cell line (P < 0.05).
conclusionBased on these results, we suggest a new concept of histone modification of the ASH2L protein in MLL-rearranged acute leukemia, which cannot carry out methyltransferase activity independently. The protein-protein interactions of ASH2L with other COMPASS members, such as MLL, WDR5, RBBP5, and chromatin remodeling factor BRTF, appear to be essential for its role in the activation of
