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 differentiation of cardiac fibroblast to myofibroblast is the key process of cardiac fibrosis. In the study, we aimed to determine the function of E2F Transcription Factor 1 (E2F1) in human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs) differentiation, search for its downstream genes and elucidate the function of them in HCFs differentiation. As a result, we found that E2F1 was up-regulated in TGF-β1-induced HCFs differentiation. Silencing the expression of E2F1 by siRNA in HCFs, we found that the expression of differentiation-related genes (Collagen-1, α-Smooth muscle actin, and Fibronectin-1) was significantly suppressed, combining with proliferation and migration assay, we determined that HCFs differentiation was decreased. Luciferase report assay and immunoprecipitation proved that the oncogene CCNE2 was a direct target gene of E2F1, overexpression of CCNE2 was found in differentiated HCFs, silencing the expression of CCNE2 by siRNA decreased HCFs differentiation. Our research suggested that E2F1 and its downstream target gene CCNE2 play a vital role in TGF-β1-induced HCFs differentiation, thus E2F1 and CCNE2 may be a potential therapeutic target for cardiac fibrosis.
