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
The combination of DNA force spectroscopy and polarization microscopy of fluorescent DNA intercalator dyes can provide valuable insights into the structure of DNA under tension. These techniques have previously been used to characterize S-DNA-an elongated DNA conformation that forms when DNA overstretches at forces ≥ 65 pN. In this way, it was deduced that the base pairs of S-DNA are highly inclined, relative to those in relaxed (B-form) DNA. However, it is unclear whether and how topological constraints on the DNA may influence the base-pair inclinations under tension. Here, we apply polarization microscopy to investigate the impact of DNA pulling geometry, torsional constraint, and negative supercoiling on the orientations of intercalated dyes during overstretching. In contrast to earlier predictions, the pulling geometry (namely, whether the DNA molecule is stretched
