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
Endonuclease III (EndoIII) is a bifunctional DNA glycosylase that is essential to excise thymine glycol (Tg) from DNA. Although EndoIII is widespread in bacteria, eukarya and Archaea, our understanding on archaeal EndoIII function remains relatively incomplete due to the limited reports. Herein, we characterized an EndoIII from the hyperthermophilic euryarchaeon Thermococcus barophilus Ch5 (Tba-EndoIII) biochemically, demonstrating that the enzyme can excise Tg from dsDNA and display maximum activity at 50 ~ 70 °C and at pH 6.0 ~ 9.0 without the requirement of a divalent metal ion. Importantly, Tba-EndoIII differs from other reported archaeal EndoIII homologues in thermostability and salt requirement. As observed in other EndoIII homologues, the conserved residues D155 and H157 in Helix-hairpin-Helix motif of Tba-EndoIII are essential for Tg excision. Intriguingly, we first dissected that the conserved residues C215 and C221 in the Fe-S cluster loop in Tba-EndoIII are involved in intermediate formation and Tg excision. Additionally, we first revealed that the conserved residue L48 is flexible for intermediate formation and AP cleavage, but plays no detectable role in Tg excision. Overall, our work has revealed additional archaeal EndoIII function and catalytic mechanism.
