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
A highly variable DNA region (EhVR1), isolated from Entamoeba histolytica clone A, strain HM1:IMSS, is transcribed into several transcripts, which differ in genetically related clones. EhVR1 (3.5 kb) is composed of two contiguous fragments; one of these 1.9 kb long, at the 3' end, identified similar transcripts in clones A, L6 and C2 (all derived from strain HM1:IMMS), the other of 1.6 kb, at the 5' end, detected 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 kb transcripts only in clone A. Variability of the 1.6 kb fragment was found even within the same clone maintained under different conditions. EhVR1 was localized to 1.3 and 1.4 Mb linear chromosomes and also found in circular molecules. The sequence of the 1.6 kb fragment revealed the presence of a large number of different repeats, including inverted and palindromic repeats. A p145 sequence, previously detected in episomal DNA of the amoeba, was found at the 5' end of EhVR1. The presence of EhVR1 in linear and circular molecules, its high number of repeats, and its variability in genetically related clones suggest the existence of DNA regions that undergo dynamic non-reciprocal recombination between circular episomes and linear chromosomes, and may thus contribute to variability in the trophozoite genome.
