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 sensory functions of the primary cilium require the specific enrichment of a variety of transmembrane receptors, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing the ciliary targeting of these receptors remain poorly understood. In our previous work, we identified Rab8 and TNPO1 as potential ciliary transport adapters for a range of ciliary membrane proteins, including PKHD1, RP2, RDH8, ARL13B, and RHO (a GPCR), through the formation of a ternary complex with their respective ciliary targeting sequences (CTSs). In this study, we screened nine cilium-localized GPCRs and identified five that interact with both Rab8 and TNPO1 and require the two adapters for ciliary localization. We found that β2 adrenergic receptor contains two CTSs: one in the third intracellular loop and another in the C-terminal cytosolic tail. Only the C-terminal CTS interacts with Rab8 and TNPO1, and its ciliary localization is dependent on both adapters. Our study suggests that Rab8 and TNPO1 might function as ciliary transport adapters for a significant number of GPCRs.
