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
Recently, miR-22 has been suggested to be an important microRNA (miRNA) affecting meat quality. Studies have shown that muscle fatty acid composition and mitochondrial function are closely related to meat quality. The regulatory mechanism of miR-22 on skeletal muscle fatty acid composition and mitochondrial function is not well characterized. Therefore, we aimed to explore the effects of miR-22 on fatty acid composition and mitochondrial function in C2C12 cells. Here, it demonstrate that elevated expression of miR-22 significantly repressed fatty acid elongation and mitochondrial morphology in C2C12 myoblasts, while the knockdown of miR-22 showed opposite results. Furthermore, miR-22 targets the elongase of very long chain fatty acids 6 (ELOVL6) and represses its expression in muscle cells. Knockdown of ELOVL6 mimicked the effect of miR-22 on fatty acid composition and mitochondrial function, while overexpression of ELOVL6 restored the effects of miR-22. These findings indicate that miR-22 downregulates the elongation of fatty acids and mitochondrial morphology by inhibiting ELOVL6 expression in muscle cells, which may provide some useful information for controlling muscle lipid accumulation and mitochondrial function in livestock in the future.
