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
In our previous study, we found highly fatty acid salts, which are a skin-friendly soaps, had a high ability to inactivate the influenza virus. In order to elucidate the mechanism of inactivation of influenza virus, we investigated interactions and complex formation of potassium tetradecanoate (C14K) as a highly fatty acid salt with a virus particle (VP) derived from avian influenza virus by using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). ITC showed C14K attractively interacted with hemagglutinin protein (HA) which exists in the envelop of VP. SAXS analyses revealed C14K formed highly ordered complex with HA through the attractive interaction. Since the HA is responsible for cell entry events, inactivation of influenza viruses by highly fatty acid salts are derived owing to HA inhibition of influenza viruses through the complex formation. Time-resolved SAXS measurements elucidated the complex formation was completed within 40 s after mixing aqueous solutions of C14K and VP. This result strongly suggests that hand-washing with a highly fatty acid salts is an effective measure to prevent infection with influenza virus without causing rough hands.
