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 Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 complex is a universal protein segregase that plays key roles in eukaryotic cellular processes. Its functions orchestrating the clearance or removal of polyubiquitylated targets are established; however, prior studies suggest that the complex also targets substrates modified by the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO. Here, we show that interactions between Ufd1 and SUMO enhance unfolding of substrates modified by SUMO-polyubiquitin hybrid chains by the budding yeast Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 complex compared to substrates modified by polyubiquitin chains, a difference that is accentuated when the complex has a choice between these substrates. Incubating Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 with a substrate modified by a SUMO-polyubiquitin hybrid chain produced a series of single-particle cryo-EM structures that reveal features of interactions between Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 and ubiquitin prior to and during unfolding of ubiquitin. These results are consistent with cellular functions for SUMO and ubiquitin modifications and support a physical model wherein Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48, SUMO, and ubiquitin conjugation pathways converge to promote clearance of proteins modified with SUMO and polyubiquitin.
