Polymer-Mediated Cryopreservation of Bacteriophages.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Bacteriophages (phages, bacteria-specific viruses) have biotechnological and therapeutic potential. To apply phages as pure or heterogeneous mixtures, it is essential to have a robust mechanism for transport and storage, with different phages having very different stability profiles across storage conditions. For many biologics, cryopreservation is employed for long-term storage and cryoprotectants are essential to mitigate cold-induced damage. Here, we report that poly(ethylene glycol) can be used to protect phages from cold damage, functioning at just 10 mg·mL
