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 gas-phase reactivity of two aromatic carbon-centered σ,σ-biradicals (meta-benzyne analogs) and a related monoradical towards small oligonucleotides of differing lengths was investigated in a Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer coupled with laser-induced acoustic desorption (LIAD). The mono- and biradicals were positively charged to allow for manipulation in the mass spectrometer. The oligonucleotides were evaporated into the gas phase as intact neutral molecules by using LIAD. One of the biradicals was found to be unreactive. The reactive biradical reacts with dinucleoside phosphates and trinucleoside diphosphates mainly by addition to a nucleobase moiety followed by cleavage of the glycosidic bond, leading to a nucleobase radical (e.g., base-H) abstraction. In some instances, after the initial cleavage, the unquenched radical site of the biradical abstracts a hydrogen atom from the neutral fragment, which results in a net nucleobase abstraction. In sharp contrast, the related monoradical mainly undergoes facile hydrogen atom abstraction from the sugar moiety. As the size of the oligonucleotides increases, the rate of hydrogen atom abstraction from the sugar moiety by the monoradical was found to increase due to the presence of more hydrogen atom donor sites, and it is the only reaction observed for tetranucleoside triphosphates. Hence, the monoradical only attacks sugar moieties in these substrates. The biradical also shows significant attack at the sugar moiety for tetranucleoside triphosphates. This drastic change in reactivity indicates that the size of the oligonucleotides plays a key role in the outcome of these reactions. This finding is attributed to more compact conformations in the gas phase for the tetranucleoside triphosphates than for the smaller oligonucleotides, which result from stronger stabilizing interactions between the nucleobases.
