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
The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is part of a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade. Scaffold proteins simultaneously associate with various components of the MAPK signaling pathway and play a role in signal transmission and regulation. Here we describe the identification of a novel scaffold JNK-binding protein, WDR62, with no sequence homology to any of the known scaffold proteins. WDR62 is a ubiquitously expressed heat-sensitive 175-kDa protein that specifically associates with JNK but not with ERK and p38. Association between WDR62 and JNKs occurs in the absence and after either transient or persistent stimuli. WDR62 potentiates JNK kinase activity; however it inhibits AP-1 transcription through recruitment of JNK to a nonnuclear compartment. HEK-293T cells transfected with WDR62 display cytoplasmic granular localization. Overexpression of stress granule (SG) resident proteins results in the recruitment of endogenous WDR62 and activated JNK to SG. In addition, cell treatment with arsenite results in recruitment of WDR62 to SG and activated JNK to processing bodies (PB). JNK inhibition results in reduced number and size of SG and reduced size of PB. Collectively, we propose that JNK and WDR62 may regulate the dynamic interplay between polysomes SG and PB, thereby mediating mRNA fate after stress.
