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
Saccharomyces cerevisiae RecQ helicase, Sgs1, and XPF family endonuclease, Mus81-Mms4, are implicated in processing joint molecule (JM) recombination intermediates. We show that cells lacking either enzyme frequently experience chromosome segregation problems during meiosis and that when both enzymes are absent attempted segregation fails catastrophically. In all cases, segregation appears to be impeded by unresolved JMs. Analysis of the DNA events of recombination indicates that Sgs1 limits aberrant JM structures that result from secondary strand-invasion events and often require Mus81-Mms4 for their normal resolution. Aberrant JMs contain high levels of single Holliday junctions and include intersister JMs, multichromatid JMs comprising three and four chromatids, and newly identified recombinant JMs containing two chromatids, one of which has undergone crossing over. Despite persistent JMs in sgs1 mms4 double mutants, crossover and noncrossover products still form at high levels. We conclude that Sgs1 and Mus81-Mms4 collaborate to eliminate aberrant JMs, whereas as-yet-unidentified enzymes process normal JMs.
