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 cation/proton antiporter (CPA) family includes the well-known sodium/proton exchanger (NHE; SLC9A) family of Na(+)/H(+) exchangers, and the more recently discovered and less well understood CPA2s (SLC9B), found widely in living organisms. In Drosophila, as in humans, they are represented by two genes, Nha1 (Slc9b1) and Nha2 (Slc9b2), which are enriched and functionally significant in renal tubules. The importance of their role in organismal survival has not been investigated in animals, however. Here we show that single RNAi knockdowns of either Nha1 or Nha2 reduce survival and in combination are lethal. Knockdown of either gene alone results in up-regulation of the other, suggesting functional complementation of the two genes. Under salt stress, knockdown of either gene decreases survival, demonstrating a key role for the CPA2 family in ion homeostasis. This is specific to Na(+) stress; survival on K(+) intoxication is not affected by sodium/hydrogen antiporter (NHA) knockdown. A direct functional assay in Xenopus oocytes shows that Nha2 acts as a Na(+)/H(+) exchanger. In contrast, Nha1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes shows strong Cl(-) conductance and acts as a H(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter. The activity of Nha1 is inhibited by chloride-binding competitors 4,4'-diiso-thiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene and 4,4'-dibenzamido-2,2'-stilbenedisulphonate. Salt stress induces a massive up-regulation of NHA gene expression not in the major osmoregulatory tissues of the alimentary canal, but in the crop, cuticle, and associated tissues. Thus, it is necessary to revise the classical view of the coordination of different tissues in the coordination of the response to osmoregulatory stress.
