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
Eggshells of Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus (Archiacanthocephala) were investigated for their fine structure as well as their chemical composition. The acanthor larvae are surrounded by four eggshells (E1-4) separated by interstices of low electron density (G1-4). As these envelopes are secreted in different sequences and are reinforced to different degrees, their appearance varies throughout development. The outermost eggshell (E1) of this species has a tripartite appearance; it contains neither chitin nor keratin. Keratin appears in E2 and E3. It was localized electron microscopically using anti-keratin and, for the first time by fluorescence microscopy with the bromobimane reaction. Keratin occurs in two forms: in the second envelope (E2) it consists of twisted struts of filaments, whereas in the innermost sublayer of the third envelope (E3) it shows a conspicuous cross-striation; in the first and second sublayers of E3, neither keratin nor a discernible structure is present. Chitin occurs in the innermost layer (E4). The interstices G1, G3 and G4 seem to contain glycoproteins, whereas interstice G3 seems to contain some type of carbohydrate. After the extraction of proteins including keratin with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dithiothreitol (DTE) only layers E1 and E4 remained.
