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
E4, which is a fruit-ripening gene that is strongly induced by ethylene, has been reported to be a member of the methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MSRA) gene. In the present study, we determined for the first time the enzymatic activity and delineated the catalytic mechanism of the E4 protein via site-directed mutagenesis. The disulfide intermolecular cross-linking, kinetics parameter, thiol content titration analysis of wild-type and mutated E4 proteins revealed that the cysteine at position 37 (Cys-37) was the key catalytic residue, and Cys-194, but not Cys-180 served as the first recycling Cys in the thioredoxin (Trx)-dependent regeneration system. In addition, the SlMSRA2 protein, which was encoded by another MSRA gene, shared high similarity with the E4 protein and was truncated at the C-terminus. The wild-type and mutated SlMSRA2 enzymes had similar activities compared to the E4 protein using DTT as a reductant, but showed extremely low activities in the Trx-dependent reduction system. Our results indicated that E4 and SlMSRA2 proteins might exhibit distinct catalytic mechanisms.
