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
Cytosine modifications, particularly 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), play crucial roles in numerous biological processes. Current analytical methods are often constrained to the separate detection of either 5mC or 5hmC, or the combination of both modifications. The ability to simultaneously detect C, 5mC, and 5hmC at the same genomic locations with precise stoichiometry is highly desirable. Herein, we introduce a method termed engineered deaminase-assisted sequencing (EDA-seq) for the simultaneous quantification of C, 5mC, and 5hmC at the same genomic sites. EDA-seq utilizes a specially engineered protein, derived from human APOBEC3A (A3A), known as eA3A-M5. eA3A-M5 exhibits distinct deamination capabilities for C, 5mC, and 5hmC. In EDA-seq, C undergoes complete deamination and is sequenced as T. 5mC is partially deaminated resulting in a mixed readout of T and C, and 5hmC remains undeaminated and is read as C. Consequently, the proportion of T readouts (
