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
Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) is an aquatic bacterium responsible for acute and fatal cholera outbreaks worldwide. When V. cholerae is ingested, the bacteria colonize the epithelium of the small intestine and stimulate the Paneth cells to produce large amounts of cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). Human defensin 5 (HD-5) is the most abundant CAMPs in the small intestine. However, the role of the V. cholerae response to HD-5 remains unclear. Here we show that HD-5 significantly upregulates virulence gene expression. Moreover, a two-component system, CarSR (or RstAB), is essential for V. cholerae virulence gene expression in the presence of HD-5. Finally, phosphorylated CarR can directly bind to the promoter region of TcpP, activating transcription of tcpP, which in turn activates downstream virulence genes to promote V. cholerae colonization. In conclusion, this study reveals a virulence-regulating pathway, in which the CarSR two-component regulatory system senses HD-5 to activate virulence genes expression in V. cholerae.
