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

The RNA phages offer promising applications in biotechnology, including vaccine development and drug delivery. However, their potential remains underexplored due to the limited number of known RNA phages, partly because conventional methods fail to identify plaque-invisible lytic phages that do not form plaques. Here, we introduced a novel method that combines RNA-inclusive metagenomic studies and quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RMS-RT-qPCR) to identify and characterize active RNA phages from environmental samples. This study led to the discovery of a new active Qbeta-like phage, named Cute. Genomic analysis revealed that Cute is a new member of the
