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

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that, regarding the western blot experiments shown in Figs. 6E and 7C, a pair of the gel slices were strikingly similar in appearance, suggesting that the same data had been included in these figures to show the results with different proteins. Moreover, two additional gel slices in these figures had apparently been re‑used in a pair of subsequent papers published by the same research group, where the experimental conditions were indicated to be different, and it was noted by the Editorial Office that one of the gel slices may have contained an anomaly in the form of a break in the continuity of the gel. Upon asking the authors to provide the Editorial Office with an explanation of the above issues, they did supply us with revised versions of Figs. 6E and 7C; however, it was subsequently pointed out to the authors that certain of the western blot data in Fig. 6E had apparently reappeared in a further paper by the same authors, in the journal
