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 smut fungus Sporisorium scitamineum causes the most prevalent disease on sugarcane. The mechanism of its pathogenesis, especially the functions and host targets of its effector proteins, are unknown. In order to identify putative effectors involving in S. scitamineum infection, a weighted gene co-expression network analysis was conducted based on the transcriptome profiles of both smut fungus and sugarcane using a customized microarray. A smut effector gene, termed SsPele1, showed strong co-expression with sugarcane PLANT ELICITOR PEPTIDE RECEPTOR1 (ScPEPR1), which encodes a receptor like kinase for perception of plant elicitor peptide1 (ScPep1). The relationship between SsPele1 and ScPEPR1, and the biological function of SsPele1 were characterized in this study. The SsPele1 C-terminus contains a plant elicitor peptide-like motif, by which SsPele1 interacts strongly with ScPEPR1. Strikingly, the perception of ScPep1 on ScPEPR1 is competed by SsPele1 association, leading to the suppression of ScPEPR1-mediated immune responses. Moreover, the Ustilago maydis effector UmPele1, an ortholog of SsPele1, promotes fungal virulence using the same strategy. This study reveals a novel strategy by which a fungal effector can mimic the plant elicitor peptide to complete its perception and attenuate receptor-activated immunity.
