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 relationship between parasitoid wasps and polydnaviruses constitutes one of the few known mutualisms between viruses and eukaryotes. Viral particles are injected with the wasp eggs into parasitized larvae, and the viral genes thus introduced are used to manipulate lepidopteran host physiology. The genome packaged in the particles is composed of 35 double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) circles produced in wasp ovaries by amplification of viral sequences from proviral segments integrated in tandem arrays in the wasp genome. These segments and their flanking regions within the genome of the wasp Cotesia congregata were recently isolated, allowing extensive mapping of amplified sequences. The bracovirus DNAs packaged in the particles were found to be amplified within more than 12 replication units. Strikingly, the nudiviral cluster, the genes of which encode particle structural components, was also amplified, although not encapsidated. Amplification of bracoviral sequences was shown to involve successive head-to-head and tail-to-tail concatemers, which was not expected given the nudiviral origin of bracoviruses.
