Defining molecular and domain boundaries in the bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging motor.
Article in Structure (London, England : 1993), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 67 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
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) studies of the bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging motor have delineated the relative positions and molecular boundaries of the 12-fold symmetric head-tail connector, the 5-fold symmetric prohead RNA (pRNA), the ATPase that provides the energy for packaging, and the procapsid. Reconstructions, assuming 5-fold symmetry, were determined for proheads with 174-base, 120-base, and 71-base pRNA; proheads lacking pRNA; proheads with ATPase bound; and proheads in which the packaging motor was missing the connector. These structures are consistent with pRNA and ATPase forming a pentameric motor component around the unique vertex of proheads. They suggest an assembly pathway for the packaging motor and a mechanism for DNA translocation into empty proheads.
