Chemical individuality: concept and outlook.
Review in Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sir Archibald Garrod's concept of chemical individuality introduced a century ago provided the basis for the entire discipline of inborn errors of metabolism. Human disorders are defined by variation in disease-causing mutations, environmental influences, genetic factors other than the primary genetic defect, and evolution itself. Myriad examples support the prescience of Garrod with respect to these issues, each of which has therapeutic implications. Just as Garrod predicted that the future of biochemical genetics would be intertwined with the concept of chemical variability, we might forecast that variation will influence emotions, dreams, and the human thinking process itself.
