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 body form of holometabolous insects dramatically transforms from larval to adult stages during metamorphosis that occurs in the pupal stage. The larval disorganization and then new adult tissues are built up at this time. In motoneuron, larval neuronal cells degenerate, and new adult neurons are remodeled. Finally, adult neurons reconnect to new adult muscles. However, the factors that control metamorphosis have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we show that an antioxidant enzyme, Tribolium castaneum superoxide dismutase 6 (TcSOD6), is secreted into the haemolymph and is required for proper movable legs during metamorphosis. TcSOD6 has a unique domain architecture and is mainly expressed in the pupal stage. The depletion of TcSOD6 expression in the pupa inhibits normal axon development and results in adults that display dysfunctional leg motions, suggesting that SOD6 expression is required for the development of properly movable legs. Therefore, we speculate that TcSOD6 might participate in some of the processes for larval neurons to be remodelled to new adult functions in the legs during metamorphosis, providing new insight into the evolution of SOD functions.
