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
Xrn1-resistant RNA structures are multifunctional elements employed by an increasing number of RNA viruses. One of such elements is the coremin motif, discovered in plant virus RNAs, of which the structure has been hypothesized to form a yet unelucidated pseudoknot. Recently, the coremin motif was shown to be capable of stalling not only Xrn1, but scanning ribosomes as well. Following that observation, in this study we demonstrate that the coremin motif can promote -1 ribosomal frameshifting, similar to better-characterized viral frameshifting pseudoknots. Since this function was lost in concert with substitutions that were known to disturb Xrn1-resistance, we developed a frameshifting screen for finding novel Xrn1-resistant RNAs by randomizing parts of the coremin motif. This yielded new insights into the coremin motif structure, as Xrn1-resistant variations were identified that more clearly indicate a pseudoknot interaction. In addition, we show that the Xrn1-resistant RNA of Zika virus promotes frameshifting as well, while known -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting pseudoknots do not stall Xrn1, suggesting that promoting frameshifting is a universal characteristic of Xrn1-resistant RNAs, but that Xrn1-resistance requires more than just a frameshifting pseudoknot.
