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
backgroundIn recent studies, it was shown that Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is regulated by androgens and small VCP-interacting protein (SVIP) is an ERAD inhibitor. There is no data available about the interactions of ERAD proteins with proteins involved in steroidogenesis. The aim of the study was to investigate the expressions of SVIP, p97/VCP, StAR, CYP17A1 and 3β-HSD in human and mouse. METHODS AND
resultsHLC, TM3 and MA-10 Leydig cell lines were used to determine roles of ERAD proteins in steroidogenesis based on immunofluorescence, Western blot, qRT-PCR, ELISA. Findings showed that StAR, CYP17A1 and 3β-HSD were colocalized with SVIP and p97/VCP in Leydig cells. A decrease in CYP17A1, 3β-HSD and StAR expressions was observed as a result of suppression of SVIP siRNAs and p97/VCP siRNAs expressions in MA10, TM3 and HLC. When siSVIP transfected cells were compared with siSVIP transfected with hCG-exposed cells, SVIP protein expression was significantly increased as compared to the SVIP transfected group in human Leydig cells.
conclusionWe suggest that the suppression of protein expressions by p97/VCP and SVIP siRNAs in Leydig cells, the effects of proteins involved in steroidogenesis (StAR, CYP17A1 and 3β-HSD) have proven to be originating from p97/VCP and SVIP which were playing a role in the steroidogenesis process. Additionally, it was demonstrated that testosterone levels decreased after transfection with p97/VCP siRNA and SVIP siRNA, p97/VCP and SVIP created an effect on testosterone synthesis while taking place in the steps of testosterone synthesis. Further, it was determined in the study that the SVIP was affected by hCG stimulations.
