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
Mitochondrial apoptosis is strictly controlled by BCL-2 family proteins through a subtle network of protein interactions. The tumor suppressor protein p53 triggers transcription-independent apoptosis through direct interactions with BCL-2 family proteins, but the molecular mechanism is not well understood. In this study, we present three crystal structures of p53-DBD in complex with the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 at resolutions of 2.3-2.7 Å. The structures show that two loops of p53-DBD penetrate directly into the BH3-binding pocket of BCL-2. Structure-based mutations at the interface impair the p53/BCL-2 interaction. Specifically, the binding sites for p53 and the pro-apoptotic protein Bax in the BCL-2 pocket are mostly identical. In addition, formation of the p53/BCL-2 complex is negatively correlated with the formation of BCL-2 complexes with pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family members. Defects in the p53/BCL-2 interaction attenuate p53-mediated cell apoptosis. Overall, our study provides a structural basis for the interaction between p53 and BCL-2, and suggests a molecular mechanism by which p53 regulates transcription-independent apoptosis by antagonizing the interaction of BCL-2 with pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family members.
