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
Mahogunin ring finger-1 (MGRN1) is a cytosolic ubiquitin ligase whose disruption or interaction with some isoforms of cytosolically exposed prion protein leads to spongiform neurodegeneration and also lack of which results in reduced embryonic viability due to mispatterning of the left-right (LR) axis during development. Here we demonstrate an interaction between the cytoskeletal protein α-tubulin and MGRN1. In cultured cell systems, loss of the ubiquitin E3 ligase activity of MGRN1 results in spindle misorientation and decreased α-tubulin polymerization, an effect also seen in primary cells. α-Tubulin was post-translationally modified by MGRN1 via noncanonical K6-linked polyubiquitination. This was significant because expression of catalytically inactive MGRN1 and/or ubiquitin mutant capable of only monoubiquitination resulted in similar mitotic spindle misorientation. The modulatory effect of MGRN1 was specific for α-tubulin and similar changes could not be detected in β- or γ-tubulin. However, catalytic inactivation of MGRN1 did not abrogate monoubiquitination of α-tubulin, thus unraveling a unique dual mode of ubiquitination by an unknown E3 ligase and MGRN1. MGRN1-mediated α-tubulin modification, and hence its stability, may highlight a key event in the LR patterning during embryogenesis.
