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
Introduction: In human placental development, the trophectoderm (TE) appears in blastocysts on day 5 post-fertilization and develops after implantation into three types of trophoblast lineages: cytotrophoblast (CT), syncytiotrophoblast (ST), and extravillous trophoblast (EVT). CDX2/Cdx2 is expressed in the TE, and Cdx2 expression is upregulated by knockdown of Foxo1 in mouse ESCs. However, the significance of FOXO1 in trophoblast lineage differentiation during the early developmental period remains unclear. In this study, we examined the effect of FOXO1 inhibition on the differentiation of naive human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into TE and trophoblast lineages. Methods: We induced TE differentiation from naive iPSCs in the presence or absence of a FOXO1 inhibitor, and the resulting cells were subjected to trophoblast differentiation procedures without the FOXO1 inhibitor. The cells obtained in these processes were assessed for morphology, gene expression, and hCG secretion using phase-contrast microscopy, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR), RNA-seq, immunochromatography, and a chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay. Results: In the induction of trophoblast differentiation from naive iPSCs, treatment with a FOXO1 inhibitor resulted in the enhanced expression of TE markers, CDX2 and HAND1, but conversely decreased the expression of ST markers, such as ERVW1 (Syncytin-1) and GCM1, and an EVT marker, HLA-G. The proportion of cells positive for an early TE marker TACSTD2 and negative for a late TE marker ENPEP was higher in FOXO1 inhibitor-treated cells than in non-treated cells. The expressions of ERVW1 (Syncytin-1), ERVFRD-1 (Syncytin-2), and other endogenous retrovirus (ERV)-associated genes that have been reported to be expressed in trophoblasts were suppressed in the cells obtained by differentiating the TE cells treated with FOXO1 inhibitor. Conclusions: Treatment with a FOXO1 inhibitor during TE induction from naive iPSCs promotes early TE differentiation but hinders the progression of differentiation into ST and EVT. The suppression of ERV-associated genes may be involved in this process.
