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
Inbred laboratory mice, such as the C57BL/6J strain, are presumed to be genetically uniform and are used in medical and biological research. Here, we report a substantial copy number variation (CNV) in a segmental duplication (SD) in the mouse pseudoautosomal region (PAR), which challenges the widely accepted assumption. The PAR consists of an identical sequence shared by the X and Y chromosomes at their distal ends, enabling proper pairing and recombination during meiosis. The copy number in C57BL/6J mice ranged from 4 to 27 per diploid genome. The mean (± standard deviation) was 12.9 ± 4.8. We found that de novo CNV emerged in nearly every spermatogenesis meiosis. The presence of CNV in the SD has also been detected in other classical inbred mouse strains. Each copy of the SD contains the Erdr1 gene. A correlation was observed between copy number and Erdr1 expression levels in males, and there was a significant negative correlation between expression level and body weight.
