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
Renal calcification (RCALC) resulting in nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis, which affects ∼10% of adults by 70 years of age, involves environmental and genetic etiologies. Thus, nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis occurs as an inherited disorder in ∼65% of patients, and may be associated with endocrine and metabolic disorders including: primary hyperparathyroidism, hypercalciuria, renal tubular acidosis, cystinuria, and hyperoxaluria. Investigations of families with nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis have identified some causative genes, but further progress is limited as large families are unavailable for genetic studies. We therefore embarked on establishing mouse models for hereditary nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis by performing abdominal X-rays to identify renal opacities in N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-mutagenized mice. This identified a mouse with RCALC inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, designated RCALC type 2 (RCALC2). Genomewide mapping located the Rcalc2 locus to a ∼16-Mbp region on chromosome 11D-E2 and whole-exome sequence analysis identified a heterozygous mutation in the DNA polymerase gamma-2, accessory subunit (Polg2) resulting in a nonsense mutation, Tyr265Stop (Y265X), which co-segregated with RCALC2.
