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
A gene-encoding a dye-linked D-lactate dehydrogenase (Dye-DLDH) homolog was identified in the genome of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermoproteus tenax. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli and the product was purified to homogeneity. The recombinant protein exhibited highly thermostable Dye-DLDH activity. To date, four types of Dye-DLDH have been identified in hyperthermophilic archaea (in Aeropyrum pernix, Sulfolobus tokodaii, Archaeoglobus fulgidus, and Candidatus Caldiarchaeum subterraneum). The amino acid sequence of T. tenax Dye-DLDH showed the highest similarity (45%) to A. pernix Dye-DLDH, but neither contained a known FAD-binding motif. Nonetheless, both homologs required FAD for enzymatic activity, suggesting that FAD binds loosely to the enzyme and is easily released unlike in other Dye-DLDHs. Our findings indicate that Dye-DLDHs from T. tenax and A. pernix are a novel type of Dye-DLDH characterized by loose binding of FAD.
