Isolation and grouping of RNA phages by Itaru Watanabe et al. (1967).
Article in Proceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and biological sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
I. Watanabe et al. isolated approximately 30 strains of RNA phages from various parts of Japan. To isolate RNA phages, they assessed the infection specificity of male Escherichia coli and RNase sensitivity. They found that the isolated strains of RNA phages could be serologically separated into three groups. Furthermore, most of them were serologically related, and the antiphage rabbit serum prepared by one of these phages neutralized most of the other phages. The only serologically unrelated phage was the RNA phage Qβ, which was isolated at the Institute for Virus Research, Kyoto University, in 1961.
