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
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new type of intracellular regulator that have been widely identified in animals and plants by high-throughput sequencing. However, there are still few functional studies on circRNAs in plants. To better understand maize circRNAs and their potential functions, we identified 1199 circRNAs in maize from RiboMinus RNA-Seq transcriptome data, and found distinct features of splicing site selection bias, longer flanking introns, and miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE) insertions in flanking introns in maize circRNAs compared to other plant circRNAs. In total, 31 and 36 orthologous circRNAs were identified in rice and maize, respectively, but the orthologous parental genes could not produce orthologous circRNAs, mostly because of long-sequence insertions/deletions at flanking introns and approximately 24.3% of them contained MITE sequences. The majority of maize circRNAs showed high diversity of expression under different treatments and/or in different genetic backgrounds, implying that circRNAs could be involved in various regulatory networks. Twenty-six ecircRNAs were predicted to contain one or more target mimics, and 229 circRNAs had high coding potential, indicating that circRNAs could perform peptide-encoding functions in plants. These results will broaden understanding of the roles of circRNAs in plants and support further functional work on maize.
