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
The ribosome-associated endoribonuclease 1 (Rae1) cleaves messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in a translation-dependent manner. Here, we identify a new Rae1 target, the fliY mRNA, which is cleaved by Rae1 in the absence of the elongation factor P. The Rae1 site was mapped 12 nucleotides upstream of the second proline codon of an SPP stalling motif in fliY. Remarkably, Rae1 cleavages also occur 12 nucleotides upstream of the stop codon within two validated Rae1 mRNA targets, bmrX and spyA (S1025). Shifting the stop codon relative to the Rae1 cutting site abolished Rae1 sensitivity of bmrX and spyA mRNAs. We show that ribosome pausing occurs at the spyA stop codon, confirming its crucial role, and positioning the Rae1 cleavage at the tail end of the stalled ribosome, rather than in the A-site as previously proposed. These findings reveal a compelling novel mechanism by which Rae1 mediates mRNA cleavage in coordination with immobile ribosomes.
