Chaperone-protein interactions that mediate assembly of the bacteriophage lambda tail to the correct length.
Article in Journal of molecular biology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers.
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
Bacteriophage λ makes two proteins with overlapping amino acid sequences that are essential for tail assembly. These two proteins, gpG and gpGT, are related by a programmed translational frameshift that is conserved among diverse phages and functions in λ to ensure that gpG and the frameshift product gpGT are made in a molar ratio of approximately 30:1. Although both proteins are required and must be present in the correct ratio for assembly of functional tails, neither is present in mature tails. During λ tail assembly, major tail protein gpV polymerizes to form a long tube whose length is controlled by the tape measure protein gpH. We show that the "G" domains of gpG and gpGT bind to all or parts of tail length tape measure protein gpH and that the "T" domain of gpGT binds to major tail shaft subunit gpV, and present a model for how gpG and gpGT chaperone gpH and direct the polymerization of gpV to form a tail of the correct length.
