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
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play an important role in the immune response of vertebrates. Allelic polymorphism and pattern of evolution in MHC genes has been investigated in many mammals, however, much less is known in teleost. In the present study, we have investigated complete MHC Iα gene consists of 7 exons and 6 introns in Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Genetic variation in the MHC class Iα gene was also tested in flounder. In 32 individuals, a total of 62 alleles were detected from exon 2 of MHC class Iα gene. The rate of non-synonymous substitutions (d ( N )) occurred at a significantly higher frequency than that of synonymous substitutions (d ( S )) in PBR and non-PBR, suggesting that balancing selection for maintaining polymorphisms at the MHC Iα locus. Many positive selection sites were found to act very intensively on antigen binding sites. Our founding suggests a snapshot in an evolutionary process of MHC Iα gene evolution of the P. olivaceus.
