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
Clioquinol (CQ) is a hypoxic mimicker to activate hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) by inhibiting HIF-1α specific asparaginyl hypoxylase (FIH-1). The structural similarity of the Jumonji C (JmjC) domain between FIH-1 and JmjC domain-containing histone lysine demethylases (JmjC-KDMs) led us to investigate whether CQ could inhibit the catalytic activities of JmjC-KDMs. Herein, we showed that CQ inhibits KDM4A/C, KDM5A/B, and KDM6B and affects H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3 marks, respectively. An integrative analysis of the histone methylome and transcriptome data revealed that CQ-mediated JmjC-KDM inhibition altered the transcription of target genes through differential combinations of KDMs and transcription factors. Notably, functional enrichment of target genes showed that CQ and hypoxia commonly affected the response to hypoxia, VEGF signaling, and glycolysis, whereas CQ uniquely altered apoptosis/autophagy and cytoskeleton/extracellular matrix organization. Our results suggest that CQ can be used as a JmjC-KDM inhibitor, HIF-α activator, and an alternative therapeutic agent in hypoxia-based diseases.
