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
Microsatellites are short tandem DNA repeats, ubiquitous in genomes. They are believed to be under selection pressure, considering their high distribution and abundance beyond chance or random accumulation. However, limited analysis of microsatellites in single taxonomic groups makes it challenging to understand their evolutionary significance across taxonomic boundaries. Despite abundant genomic information, microsatellites have been studied in limited contexts and within a few species, warranting an unbiased examination of their genome-wide distribution in distinct versus closely related-clades. Large-scale comparisons have revealed relevant trends, especially in vertebrates. Here, "MicrosatNavigator", a new tool that allows quick and reliable investigation of perfect microsatellites in DNA sequences, was developed. This tool can identify microsatellites across the entire genome sequences. Using this tool, microsatellite repeat motifs were identified in the genome sequences of 186 vertebrates. A significant positive correlation was noted between the abundance, density, length, and GC bias of microsatellites and specific lineages. The (AC)
