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
Non-membrane compartments or biomolecular condensates play an important role in the regulation of cellular processes including DNA repair. Here, an ability of XRCC1, a scaffold protein involved in DNA base excision repair (BER) and single-strand break repair, to form protein-rich microphases in the presence of DNA duplexes was discovered. We also showed that the gap-filling activity of BER-related DNA polymerase λ (Pol λ) is significantly increased by the presence of XRCC1. The stimulation of the Pol λ activity was observed only at micromolar XRCC1 concentrations, which were well above the nanomolar dissociation constant determined for the XRCC1-Pol λ complex and pointed to the presence of an auxiliary stimulatory factor in addition to protein-protein interactions. Indeed, according to dynamic light scattering measurements, the stimulation of the Pol λ activity by XRCC1 was coupled with microphase separation in a protein-DNA mixture. Fluorescence microscopy revealed colocalization of Pol λ, XRCC1, and gapped DNA within the microphases. Thus, stimulation of Pol λ activity is caused both by its interaction with XRCC1 and by specific conditions of microphase separation; this phenomenon is shown for the first time.
