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
CTP synthases (CTPS) catalyze the de novo production of CTP using UTP, ATP, and l-glutamine with the anticancer drug metabolite gemcitabine-5'-triphosphate (dF-dCTP) being one of its most potent nucleotide inhibitors. To delineate the structural origins of this inhibition, we solved the structures of Escherichia coli CTPS (ecCTPS) in complex with CTP (2.0 Å), 2'-ribo-F-dCTP (2.0 Å), 2'-arabino-F-CTP (2.4 Å), dF-dCTP (2.3 Å), dF-dCTP and ADP (2.1 Å), and dF-dCTP and ATP (2.1 Å). These structures revealed that the increased binding affinities observed for inhibitors bearing the 2'-F-arabino group (dF-dCTP and F-araCTP), relative to CTP and F-dCTP, arise from interactions between the inhibitor's fluorine atom exploiting a conserved hydrophobic pocket formed by F227 and an interdigitating loop from an adjacent subunit (Q114-V115-I116). Intriguingly, crystal structures of ecCTPS•dF-dCTP complexes in the presence of select monovalent and divalent cations demonstrated that the in crystallo tetrameric assembly of wild-type ecCTPS was induced into a conformation similar to inhibitory ecCTPS filaments solely through the binding of Na
