Article in Journal of virology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers.
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
We demonstrate that the S4 genome segment of baboon reovirus (BRV) contains two sequential partially overlapping open reading frames (ORFs), both of which are functional in vitro and in virus-infected cells. The 15-kDa gene product (p15) of the 5"-proximal ORF induces efficient cell-cell fusion when expressed by itself in transfected cells, suggesting that p15 is the only viral protein required for induction of syncytium formation by BRV. The p15 protein is a small, hydrophobic, basic, integral membrane protein, properties shared with the p10 fusion-associated small transmembrane (FAST) proteins encoded by avian reovirus and Nelson Bay reovirus. As with p10, the BRV p15 protein is also a nonstructural protein and, therefore, is not involved in virus entry. Sequence analysis indicates that p15 shares no significant sequence similarity with the p10 FAST proteins and contains a unique repertoire and arrangement of sequence-predicted structural and functional motifs. These motifs include a functional N-terminal myristylation consensus sequence, an N-proximal proline-rich motif, two potential transmembrane domains, and an intervening polybasic region. The unique structural properties of p15 suggest that this protein is a novel member of the new family of FAST proteins.
