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
The LEPR gene encodes a leptin hormone receptor, and its mutations are associated with morbid obesity, dysregulation of lipid metabolism, and fertility defects in humans. Spontaneous Lepr mutations have been described in rodents, and Lepr knockout animals have been generated, in particular, using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Lipid metabolism in rodents significantly differs from that in humans or rabbits, and rabbits are therefore considered as the most relevant model of morbid obesity and lipid metabolism dysregulation in humans. LEPR knockout rabbits have not been reported so far. In this work a LEPR knockout rabbit was generated by introducing a deletion of the region around LEPR exon 10 using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The body weight of the knockout rabbit was significantly higher than the average body weight of the wild type rabbits. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated generation of LEPR knockout rabbits will allow the development of a model of morbid obesity and endocrine defects due to leptin receptor mutations in humans.
