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
Species of the mussel family Mytilidae have a special mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transmission system, known as doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI), which consists of a maternally inherited (F) and a paternally inherited (M) mitochondrial genome. Females are normally homoplasmic for the F genome and males are heteroplasmic mosaics, with their somatic tissues dominated by the maternal and their gonads dominated by the paternal genome. Several studies have indicated that the maternal genome may often be present in the male germ line. Here we report the results from the examination of mtDNA in pure sperm from more than 30 males of Mytilus galloprovincialis. In all cases, except one, we detected only the M genome. In the sperm of one male, we detected a paternal genome with an F-like primary sequence that was different from the sequence of the maternal genome in the animal's somatic tissues. We conclude that the male germ line is protected against invasion by the maternal genome. This is important because fidelity of gamete-specific transmission of the two mitochondrial genomes is a basic requirement for the stability of DUI.
