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
During a genetic screen to identify metalloregulated loci in Bacillus subtilis, we isolated a Tn917-lacZ insertion in the second gene of an operon downstream of the flagellin (hag) gene. Sequence analysis indicates that this gene encodes a homolog of the enteric flagellar filament cap protein FliD. The fliD gene is followed by homologs of the fliS and fliT genes. Transcription of the fliD-lacZ fusion is sigma D dependent, with peak expression at the end of logarithmic-phase growth. Like other sigma D-dependent genes, expression of fliD-lacZ is greatly reduced by mutations in genes essential for assembly and function of the basal body and hook complex (class II functions). These results suggest that B. subtilis flagellar genes are organized in a hierarchy of gene expression similar to that found in enteric bacteria with hag and fliD as class III genes. Expression from the fliD operon promoter, but not the hag promoter, is repressed by iron, which suggests that the target of metalloregulation is the promoter rather than the sigma D protein.
