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
Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3/I3) is a multi-domain RNA-binding protein required for MLL-AF4-driven leukemogenesis, but its mechanism of action remains enigmatic. We hypothesized from our previous work that I3 amplifies oncogenic gene expression by modulating RNA induced silencing complex (RISC) mRNA interactions. To test this, we performed miR-eCLIP of AGO2, the catalytic RISC subunit, in I3 knock-out (I3KO) as well as control B-cell acute lymphoblastic cell lines (B-ALL) and identified I3-dependent AGO2 binding sites on 111 3'UTRs. Analyzing chimeric miRNA-mRNA reads, we observed differential miRNA occupancy in the I3KO compared to control, including increased targeting by miR-181a, a regulator of leukocyte differentiation. Notably, miR-181a overexpression phenocopied I3 loss, implicating I3 in restricting miR-181a-mediated repression. Biochemical assays confirmed direct competition between I3 and AGO2-miRNA complexes for 3'-UTR binding. Taken together, our results provide a model for how I3 promotes leukemogenesis by antagonizing RISC-mediated repression of oncogenic mRNAs.
