Getting stronger: the relationship between a newly identified virus and Merkel cell carcinoma.
Article in The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer that develops in individuals who are over the age of 50 or immunosuppressed. DNA from a new polyomavirus, MCPyV, was recently shown to be clonally integrated in several MCC cases. In this issue, Becker et al. demonstrate that MCPyV DNA can be isolated from 85% of primary European MCC specimens and their metastases, and Garneski et al. present data indicating that the percentage of Australian MCC cases containing MCPyV may be lower than that of North American cases. These reports support the possibility that MCPyV is etiologically involved in at least some cases of MCC.
