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
Artificial heme enzymes offer unique opportunities to disentangle structure-function relationships and design novel biocatalysts. Mimochromes (MCs) are artificial, small-sized heme proteins able to reproduce the structural and functional features of natural heme enzymes. Here, we report the spectroscopic and structural investigation of a Mimochrome VI (MC6) analogue, Lys9DabMC6*a, for which we were previously able to isolate two distinct regioisomers. Mössbauer and EPR spectroscopy revealed distinct pH-dependent high-spin and quantum mixed-spin states in the Fe(III) complexes for both regioisomers. A detailed structural characterization was performed by NMR spectroscopy on the diamagnetic Co(III) analogues, providing high-resolution structures of the two isolated regioisomers. Both species show the intended helix-heme-helix sandwich fold but differ in interhelical orientation, axial histidine positioning, and second-sphere interactions, despite having the same peptide composition. Based on the reported electronic properties and structural features, we retrospectively attempt to elucidate the differences in substrate affinity and turnover frequency between the two regioisomers. Our results provide useful insights for the rational evolution of heme-based artificial minienzymes and highlight the minimal determinants required to achieve catalytic diversity.
