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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a ubiquitous marine organosulfur compound central to microbial stress responses, chemotaxis, and nutrient cycling. Its catabolism produces dimethylsulfide (DMS), a climate-active gas, and plays a key role in the global sulfur cycle. However, the molecular basis of DMSP import, underpinning its microbial metabolism, remains poorly understood. Here, we identify and characterize the BCCT-family transporter DddT from Psychrobacter sp. D2, a marine gamma-proteobacterium that utilizes DMSP as a carbon source. DddT is essential for DMSP uptake and functions as a Na
