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
A satellite DNA family, termed DBC-150, comprises slightly GC-rich repeat units of approximately 150 bp that were isolated (by DNA digestions or PCR) from the genome of all seven Drosophila species from the buzzatii cluster (repleta group). The presence of subrepeats suggests that part of the extant DBC-150 monomer originated by the duplication of small sequence motifs. The DBC-150 family is compared to the previously described pBuM satDNA family, an abundant component of the genome of five species of the cluster. The two families are different in several aspects, including primary structure, A + T content, intraspecific and interspecific variability and rates of homogenization (or nucleotide spread). The data indicate a lower rate of homogenization (and absence of complete concerted evolution) of the DBC-150 compared to the pBuM family. FISH on metaphase chromosomes revealed that the DBC-150 family is located exclusively in the microchromosomes. To our knowledge this is the first record of a complex Drosophila satDNA restricted to a single pair of microchromosomes. The observed low rates of homogenization of the DBC-150 family might be related to a presumed reduction or suppression of meiotic recombination in the microchromosomes.
