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
backgroundEmbryonic diapause (dormancy) is a state of temporary arrest of embryonic development that is triggered by unfavorable conditions and serves as an evolutionary strategy to ensure reproductive survival. Unlike maternally-controlled embryonic diapause in mammals, chicken embryonic diapause is critically dependent on the environmental temperature. However, the molecular control of diapause in avian species remains largely uncharacterized. In this study, we evaluated the dynamic transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic profiles of chicken embryos in pre-diapause, diapause, and reactivated states.
resultsOur data demonstrated a characteristic gene expression pattern in effects on cell survival-associated and stress response signaling pathways. Unlike mammalian diapause, mTOR signaling is not responsible for chicken diapause. However, cold stress responsive genes, such as IRF1, were identified as key regulators of diapause. Further in vitro investigation showed that cold stress-induced transcription of IRF1 was dependent on the PKC-NF-κB signaling pathway, providing a mechanism for proliferation arrest during diapause. Consistently, in vivo overexpression of IRF1 in diapause embryos blocked reactivation after restoration of developmental temperatures.
conclusionsWe concluded that embryonic diapause in chicken is characterized by proliferation arrest, which is the same with other spices. However, chicken embryonic diapause is strictly correlated with the cold stress signal and mediated by PKC-NF-κB-IRF1 signaling, which distinguish chicken diapause from the mTOR based diapause in mammals.
