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 5' cap structure (m(7)GpppX-) is an essential feature of eukaryotic mRNA required for mRNA stability and efficient translation. Influenza virus furnishes its mRNA with this structure by a cap-snatching mechanism, in which the viral polymerase cleaves host mRNA endonucleolytically 10-13 nucleotides from the 5' end and utilizes the capped fragment as a primer to synthesize viral transcripts. Here we report a unique cap-snatching mechanism by which the yeast double-stranded RNA totivirus L-A furnishes its transcript with a cap structure derived from mRNA. Unlike influenza virus, L-A transfers only m(7)Gp from the cap donor to the 5' end of the viral transcript, thus preserving the 5' α- and β-phosphates of the transcript in the triphosphate linkage of the final product. This in vitro capping reaction requires His154 of the coat protein Gag, a residue essential for decapping of host mRNA and known to form m(7)Gp-His adduct. Furthermore, the synthesis of capped viral transcripts in vivo and their expression were greatly compromised by the Arg154 mutation, indicating the involvement of Gag in the cap-snatching reaction. The overall reaction and the structure around the catalytic site in Gag resemble those of guanylyltransferase, a key enzyme of cellular mRNA capping, suggesting convergent evolution. Given that Pol of L-A is confined inside the virion and unable to access host mRNA in the cytoplasm, the structural protein Gag rather than Pol catalyzing this unique cap-snatching reaction exemplifies the versatility as well as the adaptability of eukaryotic RNA viruses.
