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
Homologous recombination is an important biological process that occurs in all organisms and facilitates genome rearrangements and repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Eukaryotic Rad51 proteins (Rad51sp or Rhp51 in fission yeast) are functional and structural homologs of bacterial RecA protein, an evolutionarily conserved protein that plays a key role in homologous pairing and strand exchange between homologous DNA molecules in vitro. Here we show that the fission yeast swi5+ gene, which was originally identified as a gene required for normal mating-type switching, encodes a protein conserved among eukaryotes and is involved in a previously uncharacterized Rhp51 (Rad51sp)-dependent recombination repair pathway that does not require the Rhp55/57 (Rad55/57sp) function. Protein interactions with both Swi5 and Rhp51 were found to be mediated by a domain common to Swi2 and Sfr1 (Swi five-dependent recombination repair protein 1, a previously uncharacterized protein with sequence similarity to the C-terminal part of Swi2). Genetic epistasis analyses suggest that the Swi5-Sfr1-Rhp51 interactions function specifically in DNA recombination repair, whereas the Swi5-Swi2-Rhp51 interactions may function, together with chromodomain protein Swi6 (HP1 homolog), in mating-type switching.
