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
backgroundThe murine leukemia virus (MLV) has been a powerful model of pathogenesis for the discovery of genes involved in cancer. Its splice donor (SD')-associated retroelement (SDARE) is important for infectivity and tumorigenesis, but the mechanism remains poorly characterized. Here, we show for the first time that P50 protein, which is produced from SDARE, acts as an accessory protein that transregulates transcription and induces cell transformation.
resultsBy infecting cells with MLV particles containing SDARE transcript alone (lacking genomic RNA), we show that SDARE can spread to neighbouring cells as shown by the presence of P50 in infected cells. Furthermore, a role for P50 in cell transformation was demonstrated by CCK8, TUNEL and anchorage-independent growth assays. We identified the integrase domain of P50 as being responsible for transregulation of the MLV promoter using luciferase assay and RTqPCR with P50 deleted mutants. Transcriptomic analysis furthermore revealed that the expression of hundreds of cellular RNAs involved in cancerogenesis were deregulated in the presence of P50, suggesting that P50 induces carcinogenic processes via its transcriptional regulatory function.
conclusionWe propose a novel SDARE-mediated mode of propagation of the P50 accessory protein in surrounding cells. Moreover, due to its transforming properties, P50 expression could lead to a cellular and tissue microenvironment that is conducive to cancer development.
