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
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects domestic and wild pigs. The causative agent of ASF is African swine fever virus (ASFV), a large double-stranded DNA virus with a complex virion structure. Among the various proteins encoded by ASFV, A137R is a crucial structural protein associated with its virulence. However, the structure and molecular mechanisms underlying the functions of A137R remain largely unknown. In this study, we present the structure of A137R determined by cryogenic electron microscopy single-particle reconstruction, which reveals that A137R self-oligomerizes to form a dodecahedron-shaped cage composed of 60 polymers. The dodecahedron is literally equivalent to a IMPORTANCE: African swine fever (ASF) is a lethal viral disease of pigs caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). No commercial vaccines and antiviral treatments are available for the prevention and control of the disease. A137R is a structural protein of ASFV that is associated with its virulence. The discovery of the dodecahedron-shaped cage structure of A137R in this study is of great importance in understanding ASFV pathogenicity. This finding sheds light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the functions of A137R. Furthermore, the dodecahedral cage formed by A137R shows promise as a molecular scaffold for nanoparticle vectors. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the structure and function of A137R, contributing to our understanding of ASFV and potentially opening up new avenues for the development of vaccines or treatments for ASF.
