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
ATP6AP2, also known as (pro)renin receptor, has been shown to be expressed in several tissues including pancreatic β cells. Whereas ATP6AP2 plays an important role in regulating insulin secretion in mouse pancreatic β cells, the expression profiles and roles of ATP6AP2 in human pancreatic endocrine cells and neuroendocrine tumor cells remain unclear. Here in this study, we investigated the expression profiles of ATP6AP2 in pancreatic endocrine cells, and found that ATP6AP2 is robustly expressed in pancreatic insulinoma cells as well as in normal β cells. Although ATP6AP2 was also expressed in low-grade neuroendocrine tumors, it was not or faintly detected in intermediate- and high-grade neuroendocrine tumors. Knockdown experiments of the Atp6ap2 gene in rat insulinoma-derived INS-1 cells demonstrated decreased cell viability accompanied by a significant increase in apoptotic cells. Taken together, these findings suggest that ATP6AP2 plays a role in maintaining cellular homeostasis in insulinoma cells, which could lead to possible therapeutic approaches for endocrine tumors.
