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
Accumulating evidence suggests that prenatal stress (PNS) increases offspring susceptibility to depression, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We constructed a mouse model of prenatal stress by spatially restraining pregnant mice from 09:00-11:00 daily on Days 5-20 of gestation. In this study, western blot analysis, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT‒PCR), immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), and mifepristone rescue assays were used to investigate alterations in the GR/P300-MKP1 and downstream ERK/CREB/TRKB pathways in the brains of prenatally stressed offspring to determine the pathogenesis of the reduced neurogenesis and depression-like behaviors in offspring induced by PNS. We found that prenatal stress leads to reduced hippocampal neurogenesis and depression-like behavior in offspring. Prenatal stress causes high levels of glucocorticoids to enter the fetus and activate the hypothalamic‒pituitary‒adrenal (HPA) axis, resulting in decreased hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) levels in offspring. Furthermore, the nuclear translocation of GR and P300 (an acetylation modifying enzyme) complex in the hippocampus of PNS offspring increased significantly. This GR/P300 complex upregulates MKP1, which is a negative regulator of the ERK/CREB/TRKB signaling pathway associated with depression. Interestingly, treatment with a GR antagonist (mifepristone, RU486) increased hippocampal GR levels and decreased MKP1 expression, thereby ameliorating abnormal neurogenesis and depression-like behavior in PNS offspring. In conclusion, our study suggested that the regulation of the MKP1 signaling pathway by GR/P300 is involved in depression-like behavior in prenatal stress-exposed offspring and provides new insights and ideas for the fetal hypothesis of mental health.
