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
Air-breathing has evolved independently serval times with a variety of air-breathing organs (ABOs) in fish. The physiology of the air-breathing in bimodal respiration fish has been well understood, while studies on molecular mechanisms of the character are very limited. In the present study, we first determined the gill indexes of 110 fish species including 25 and 85 kinds of bimodal respiration fishes and non-air-breathing fishes, respectively. Then combined with histological observations of gills and ABOs/non-ABOs in three bimodal respiration fishes and two non-air breathing fishes, we found that the bimodal respiration fish was always of a degeneration gill and a well-vascularized ABO. Meanwhile, a comparative transcriptome analysis of posterior intestines, namely a well vascularized ABO in Misgurnus anguillicaudatus and a non-ABO in Leptobotia elongata, was performed to expound molecular variations of the air-breathing character. A total of 5,003 orthologous genes were identified. Among them, 1,189 orthologous genes were differentially expressed, which were enriched in 14 KEGG pathways. More specially, the expressions of hemoglobin genes and various HIF/VEGF signaling pathway genes were obviously upregulated in the ABO of M. anguillicaudatus. Moreover, we found that HIF-1α, VEGFAa, and MAP2K1 were co-expressed dramatically higher in ABOs of bimodal respiration fishes than those of non-ABOs of non-air-breathing fishes. These results indicated that the HIF/VEGF pathway played an important role in ABO angiogenesis/formation to promote fish to do aerial respiration. This study will contribute to our understanding of molecular mechanisms of air-breathing in fish.
