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
backgroundAdenomyosis is characterized by overgrowth of endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium and is associated with reduced apoptosis. One of the key participants in one of the pathways of apoptosis is cytochrome c, whose expression can be regulated by actin-binding proteins involved in the formation of structures that provide cell motility. The aim of the study was to determine the content of actin-binding proteins, cytochrome c, and terminal members of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in endometrial biopsies of patients with adenomyosis and the control group. METHODS AND
resultsThe content of all studied proteins was determined by Western blotting, and the mRNA content of the corresponding genes was determined by quantitative RT-PCR. The relative content of alpha-actinin1 and mRNA of the gene encoding it in biopsy specimens from patients with adenomyosis was higher than in controls by 86 and 84% (p < 0.05), respectively. The relative content of alpha-actinin4 did not change, as did cytochrome c. The content of cytochrome-c-oxidase and ATPsynthase in the group with adenomyosis exceeded the control level by 270 and 121% (p < 0.05), respectively, but the relative content of mRNA of these genes did not change, which may indicate a change in regulation at the level of protein synthesis.
conclusionThe results may indicate a local increase in the synthesis of ATP in pathological endometrial cells, which indicates the possible effectiveness of local application of H+-ATP synthase inhibitors (for example, macrolide antibiotic) to reduce the severity of clinical symptoms of adenomyosis.
