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
Fetal malnutrition has been reported to induce hypertension and renal injury in adulthood. We hypothesized that this hypertension and renal injury would be associated with abnormal epigenetic memory of stem and progenitor cells contributing to organization in offspring due to fetal malnutrition. We measured blood pressure (BP) for 60 weeks in offspring of pregnant rats fed a normal protein diet (Control), low-protein diet (LP), and LP plus taurine (LPT) in the fetal period. We used western blot analysis to evaluate the expression of αSMA and renin in CD44-positive renal mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during differentiation by TGF-β1. We measured kidney label-retaining cells (LRCs) at 11 weeks of age and formation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) at 60 weeks of age from the offspring with fetal malnutrition. Epigenetics of the renal MSCs at 14 weeks were investigated by ATAC-sequence and RNA-sequence analyses. BP was significantly higher in LP than that in Control and LPT after 45-60 weeks of age. Numbers of LRCs and EPC colonies were significantly lower in LP than in Control. Renal MSCs from LP already showed expression of h-caldesmon, αSMA, LXRα, and renin before their differentiation. Epigenetic analyses identified PAR2, Chac1, and Tspan6 genes in the abnormal differentiation of renal MSCs. These findings suggested that epigenetic abnormalities of stem and progenitor cell memory cause hypertension and renal injury that appear in adulthood of offspring with fetal malnutrition.
