1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

An analysis has been performed on implications existing between the presence/absence of the evolutionary stage of the prokaryote, that is to say, the presence/absence of common characteristics between archaea and bacteria, and the monophyletic/polyphyletic origin of genes of proteins. Thereafter, a theorem stating that: 'the polyphyletic origin of proteins would imply the absence of common characteristics between bacteria and archaea and therefore the lack of the evolutionary stage of the prokaryote, and vice versa that the indefinable prokaryote stage implies a polyphyletic origin of proteins', has been made and validated. The conclusion is that given the absence of truth in common characteristics between archaea and bacteria, the origin of genes of proteins should have been polyphyletic.
