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
Ribosomes of different species share an evolutionarily conserved core, exhibiting flexible shells formed partially by the addition of species-specific ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) with largely unexplored functions. In this study, we showed that by swapping the Saccharomyces cerevisiae 25S rRNA genes with non-S. cerevisiae homologs, species-specific rRNA variations caused moderate to severe pre-rRNA processing defects. Specifically, rRNA substitution by the Candida albicans caused severe growth defects and deficient pre-rRNA processing. We observed that such defects could be attributed primarily to variations in expansion segment 7L (ES7L) and could be restored by an assembly factor Noc2p mutant (Noc2p-K384R). We showed that swapping ES7L attenuated the incorporation of Noc2p and other proteins (Erb1p, Rrp1p, Rpl6p and Rpl7p) into pre-ribosomes, and this effect could be compensated for by Noc2p-K384R. Furthermore, replacement of Noc2p with ortholog from C. albicans could also enhance the incorporation of Noc2p and the above proteins into pre-ribosomes and consequently restore normal growth. Taken together, our findings help to elucidate the roles played by the species-specific rRNA variations in ribosomal biogenesis and further provide evidence that coevolution of rRNA expansion segments and cognate assembly factors specialized the ribosome biogenesis pathway, providing further insights into the function and evolution of ribosome.
