1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Z-DNA is a left-handed double helix form of DNA that is believed to be involved in various DNA transactions. However, comprehensive investigations aimed at global profiling of Z-DNA landscapes are still missing in both humans and plants. We here report the development of two techniques: anti-Z-DNA antibody-based immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ZIP-seq), and cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&TAG) for characterizing Z-DNA in nipponbare rice (Oryza sativa L., Japonica). We found that Z-DNA-IP
