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
Equilibrium and kinetic properties of cyanide and imidazole binding to the heme domains of Sinorhizobium meliloti and Bradyrhizobium japonicum FixL (SmFixLH and BjFixLH) have been investigated between pH5 and 11. KD determinations were made at integral pH values, with the strongest binding at pH9 for both ligands. KD for the cyanide complexes of BjFixLH and SmFixLH is 0.15±0.09 and 0.50±0.20μM, respectively, and 0.70±0.01mM for imido-BjFixLH. The association rate constants are pH dependent with maximum values of 443±8 and 252±61M(-1)s(-1) for cyano complexes of BjFixLH and SmFixLH and (5.0±0.3)×10(4) and (7.0±1.4)×10(4)M(-1)s(-1) for the imidazole complexes. The dissociation rate constants are essentially independent of pH above pH5; (1.2±0.3)×10(-4) and (1.7±0.3)×10(-4)s(-1) for the cyano complexes of BjFixLH and SmFixLH, and (73±19) and (77±14) s(-1) for the imidazole complexes. Two ionizable groups in FixLH affect the rate of ligand binding. The more acidic group, identified as the heme 6 propionic acid, has a pKa of 7.6±0.2 in BjFixLH and 6.8±0.2 in SmFixLH. The second ionization is due to formation of hydroxy-FixLH with pKa values of 9.64±0.05 for BjFixLH and 9.61±0.05 for SmFixLH. Imidazole binding is limited by the rate of heme pocket opening with maximum observed values of 680 and 1270s(-1) for BjFixLH and SmFixLH, respectively.
