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 transformation booster sequence (TBS) from Petunia hybrida enhances transformation frequencies in P. hybrida, Nicotiana tabacum and Zea mays. TBS also stimulates homologous inter- and intramolecular recombination in P. hybrida, the molecular basis for this stimulation is not known. We investigated whether TBS contains sequence elements that might contribute to the stimulation of recombination and whether its recombinogenic potential reflects a biological function of TBS. We identified a scaffold attachment region (SAR) within TBS and analysed its distribution in the genome and its homologies to other genomic sequences. A 516 bp subfragment of TBS binds to the nuclear scaffold. The sequence of the TBS-SAR fragment shows strong homologies to retroviral elements from plants, suggesting that TBS is an inactive derivative of a retrovirus that still promotes DNA recombination.
