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
backgroundAlveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACDMPV) is a rare lethal congenital lung disorder in neonates characterized by severe progressive respiratory failure and refractory pulmonary hypertension, resulting from underdevelopment of the peripheral pulmonary tree. Causative heterozygous single nucleotide variants (SNVs) or copy-number variant (CNV) deletions involving FOXF1 or its distant lung-specific enhancer on chromosome 16q24.1 have been identified in 80-90% of ACDMPV patients. FOXF1 maps closely to and regulates the oppositely oriented FENDRR, with which it also shares regulatory elements.
methodsTo better understand the transcriptional networks downstream of FOXF1 that are relevant for lung organogenesis, using RNA-seq, we have examined lung transcriptomes in 12 histopathologically verified ACDMPV patients with or without pathogenic variants in the FOXF1 locus and analyzed gene expression profile in FENDRR-depleted fetal lung fibroblasts, IMR-90.
resultsRNA-seq analyses in ACDMPV neonates revealed changes in the expression of several genes, including semaphorins (SEMAs), neuropilin 1 (NRP1), and plexins (PLXNs), essential for both epithelial branching and vascular patterning. In addition, we have found deregulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling that also controls pulmonary vasculogenesis and a lung-specific endothelial gene TMEM100 known to be essential in vascular morphogenesis. Interestingly, we have observed a substantial difference in gene expression profiles between the ACDMPV samples with different types of FOXF1 defect. Moreover, partial overlap between transcriptome profiles of ACDMPV lungs with FOXF1 SNVs and FENDRR-depleted IMR-90 cells suggests contribution of FENDRR to ACDMPV etiology.
conclusionsOur transcriptomic data imply potential crosstalk between several lung developmental pathways, including interactions between FOXF1-SHH and SEMA-NRP or VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling, and provide further insight into complexity of lung organogenesis in humans.
