First Draft Genome Sequence of Balamuthia mandrillaris, the Causative Agent of Amoebic Encephalitis.
Article in Genome announcements, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The free-living amoeba Balamuthia mandrillaris is a rare but highly lethal agent of amoebic encephalitis in humans and many other mammalian species. Here, we announce the first draft genome sequence of the original 1990 isolate cultured from the brain of a deceased mandrill baboon.
